Simon Marchi e99955cd8e Fix compile time warnings building the binutils with clang.
bfdI would like to fix instances of the following warning, when building
with clang with no special CFLAGS other than -g3 -O0.

/home/emaisin/src/binutils-gdb/bfd/elflink.c:5425:45: error: performing pointer arithmetic on a null pointer has undefined behavior [-Werror,-Wnull-pointer-arithmetic]
    return (struct elf_link_hash_entry *) 0 - 1;
           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^

Replacing those with "(struct elf_link_hash_entry *) -1" gets rid of the
warning.  I wanted to check that it didn't change the resulting code, so
I tried to build this:

  $ cat test.c
  int *before()
  {
          return (int *) 0 - 1;
  }

  int *after()
  {
          return (int *) - 1;
  }

  $ gcc -c test.c -g
  $ objdump -d test.o

  test.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

  Disassembly of section .text:

  0000000000000000 <before>:
     0:   55                      push   %rbp
     1:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
     4:   48 c7 c0 fc ff ff ff    mov    $0xfffffffffffffffc,%rax
     b:   5d                      pop    %rbp
     c:   c3                      retq

  000000000000000d <after>:
     d:   55                      push   %rbp
     e:   48 89 e5                mov    %rsp,%rbp
    11:   48 c7 c0 ff ff ff ff    mov    $0xffffffffffffffff,%rax
    18:   5d                      pop    %rbp
    19:   c3                      retq

This shows that the previous code doesn't actually return -1 as the
function documentation says, but the new one does, so it's kind of a
bugfix.

bfd	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_archive_symbol_lookup): Avoid pointer
	arithmetic on NULL pointer.
	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_archive_symbol_lookup,
	elf_link_add_archive_symbols): Likewise.

ld	* ldexp.c (fold_name, exp_fold_tree_1): Avoid pointer arithmetic
	on NULL pointer.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
