NOTES ON THIS PATCH:

This is a patch to add support to binutils for TI ARM COFF object files (as
used by the TI toolchain including the Code Composer debugger for the
Innovator platform). The patch includes a new file bfd/coff-tiarm.c but does
not include makefile changes to get this file compiled, because I couldn't
work out how to generate a patch that only had the necessary changes and not
a load of autogenerated dependency noise. This patch has been lightly tested
in that it seems to produce a working objdump and objcopy. I haven't tried
to test anything else because that's all we needed. In particular, I suspect
that the handling of relocations is buggy.

TI COFF format includes an extension supporting section names of more than 8
characters. This is similar to the existing binutils supported long section
names extension used by the PE object format, except that the string table
offset is stored in the section header slightly differently. I just added
support for the TI extension where the PE extension has been coded, although
I note that this entailed editing a file which claims to include no target
specific code. I couldn't work out how to make this code apply only to the
TI COFF backends without adding a new field to every backend structure so
any COFF backend that claims to support long section names will try to read
both PE and TI style long section names. I don't think this will cause any
problems in practice.

We don't have any further resources to spend on debugging or enhancing this
patch, so I really just wanted to get it out so that Google can find it and
other people who might need this can find it. You're welcome to include it
into future binutils releases or not, as you choose.

The patch is against binutils-2.12.90.0.1 with debian patches applied.
