	Only build nlmconv if configured for a NetWare target.
	* configure.in: If we have some *-*-netware* target, or are using
	all targets, set BUILD_NLMCONV to $(NLMCONV_PROG) in Makefile.
	* Makefile.in (PROGS): Use $(BUILD_NLMCONV) rather than
	$(NLMCONV_PROG).

	into .bss section.  Automatically define _edata and _end.  Only
	export symbols in the export list, with multiple prefixes if
	necessary.  Warn if no version.  Always create extended header.
	Set date automatically if not already set.
	(setup_sections): Count size of bss sections.

	take reloc_count as a changeable pointer; changed callers.
	(i386_mangle_relocs): Remove PC relative relocs within a section,
	as they require no adjustment.
	* nlmheader.y: Fixed memory allocation throughout: token STRING is
	now allocated on the heap, and freed if not needed.  Null
	terminated copyright message.  Accept version with only two
	strings.
	(symbol_list_opt): New nonterminal, either symbol_list or empty.
	(symbol_list): Use left recursion to avoid overflowing parser
	stack.

	strings using single quotes.  End generic argument at comment
	character or parentheses.
	(string_list_append): Fixed.

	* bucomm.c (xrealloc): Use PTR rather than char *.

Mon Jul 19 16:13:40 1993  Ken Raeburn  (raeburn@rtl.cygnus.com)

	* objdump.c (objdump_print_address): Prefer non-local symbols over
	local ones, and especially discriminate against debugging symbols.
	Also, for relocateable files, try to find a symbol in the current
	section, instead of picking one from some random section with a
	convenient value (read, section offset).
	(disassemble_data): Cast argument to malloc to size_t first.
	(dump_data): Likewise.
	(dump_relocs): If a single section name is specified, show relocs
	only for that section.  Otherwise, silently omit sections without

Wed Aug  5 11:25:27 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)

Mon Jul 27 16:28:08 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner@rtl.cygnus.com)

	* objdump.c (dump_elf_stabs): New feature: --stabs prints out a
	.stab section from an ELF file.  Installed under #ifdef
	ELF_STAB_DISPLAY so it can be easily disabled, since it requires
	bfd-internals header files and such.
	* objdump.1, binutils.texi:  Update for --stabs.  Also fix
	objdump's doc to use -- rather than + for long options.
	(FIXME:  Not yet fixed everywhere in binutils.texinfo.)

Fri May 22 13:40:37 1992  Per Bothner  (bothner@cygnus.com)

	* Makefile.in:  Use srcdir instead of VPATH in ldgram/ldlex
	rules, since these are used when building a distribution.
	* Makefile.in (arlex.c):  Don't re-direct output, since that
	leaves a bogus output files if it fails.

	* copy.c, is-strip.c, not-strip.c, maybe-strip.c, Makefile.in:

	Generate two different binaries for strip and copy and use
	a global variable with different values to distinguish
	ostrip from copy.  (-1 means to use argv[0] to decide,
	so you can get the old behavior, but it is no longer the default).
	* copy.c (copy_file):  Set EXEC_P of output bfd if input is so.
	* copy.c (main):  If is_strip==-1, compare last 5 chars
	of argv[0], not the whole path.

	* bucomm.c (fatal):  Conditionally compile fatal() depending on
	MISSING_VFPRINTF, and don't confuse the issue with NO_VARARGS.
	* objdump.c (dump_headers):  Trivial output format change.
	* objdump.c (display_info): Loop over integers, not enums,
	to appease old compilers.

	* objdump.c (print_address): Make disasembled output more
	consistent with gdb and as: Add 0x when printing hex.
	Don't print extra leading zeros.
	Attempt to not print "filename.o".
	* objdump.c: Add some enum-to-int casts to accomodate old compilers.

	* copy.c:  Change =& constructs to = &, since they confuse older
	C compilers.
