Nick Alcock edc27e2d90 libctf: do not include undefined functions in libctf.ver
libctf's version script is applied to two libraries: libctf.so,
and libctf-nobfd.so.  The latter library is a subset of the former
which does not link to libbfd and does not include a few public
entry points that use it (found in libctf-open-bfd.c).  This means
that some of the symbols in this version script only exist in one
of the libraries it's applied to.

A number of linkers dislike this: before now, only Solaris's linker
caused serious problems, introducing NOTYPE-typed symbols when such
things were found, but now LLD has started to complain as well:

ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBCTF_1.0' to symbol 'ctf_arc_open' failed: symbol not defined
ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBCTF_1.0' to symbol 'ctf_fdopen' failed: symbol not defined
ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBCTF_1.0' to symbol 'ctf_open' failed: symbol not defined
ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBCTF_1.0' to symbol 'ctf_bfdopen' failed: symbol not defined
ld: error: version script assignment of 'LIBCTF_1.0' to symbol 'ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect' failed: symbol not defined

Rather than adding more and more whack-a-mole fixes for every
linker we encounter that does this, simply exclude such symbols
unconditionally, using the same trick we used to use for Solaris.
(Well, unconditionally if we can use version scripts with this
linker at all, which is not always the case.)

Thanks to Nicholas Vinson for the original report and a fix very
similar to this one (but not quite identical).

	* configure.ac: Always exclude libctf symbols from
	libctf-nobfd's version script.
	* configure: Regenerated.

		   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

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