History
Pedro Alves c38e85596e AIX 32-bit core loading, high section addresses. 
I noticed GDB was failing to enable threading support for 32-bit AIX
cores.  I traced it to failure to read variables from libpthreads.a.
The issue is that data for that library is loaded at a high address,
and bfd is sign extending the section addresses:

 (gdb) info files
 Symbols from "/home/palves/crash".
 Local core dump file:
	 `/home/palves/core', file type aixcoff-rs6000.
	 0x2ff22000 - 0x2ff23000 is .stack

 Local exec file:
	 `/home/palves/crash', file type aixcoff-rs6000.
	 Entry point: 0x20001394
	 0x10000150 - 0x10000e90 is .text
	 0x20000e90 - 0x2000149c is .data

	 0xd053a280 - 0xd053aabe is .text in /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
	 0xf07b46a8 - 0xf07b47c8 is .data in /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
	 0xf07b47c8 - 0xf07b47c8 is .bss in /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
	 0xd04fb180 - 0xd053917e is .text in /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)

	 0xf06dafe0 - 0xf07b3838 is .data in /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
	 0xf0751e94 - 0xf07b3838 is .bss in /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)

Notice:
	...
	0xfffffffff0298000 - 0xfffffffff029bfcc is .data
	...

Those are the bfd section start/end addresses.  It't not visible here:

         ...
	 0xf0298000 - 0xf029bfcc is .data in /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)
         ...

... just because GDB trims that number to 32-bit when printing.

GDB then fails to find the memory for libpthreads.a variables in the
core, and falls back to reading it directly from the executable (which
yields the values as originally initialized in the code).

E.g.:

 (gdb) p &__n_pthreads
 $2 = (<data variable, no debug info> *) 0xf074fda8 <__n_pthreads>
 (gdb) p __n_pthreads
 $1 = -1

That should have returned 2 instead of -1.

README

This file contains invisible Unicode characters

This file contains invisible Unicode characters that are indistinguishable to humans but may be processed differently by a computer. If you think that this is intentional, you can safely ignore this warning. Use the Escape button to reveal them.

BFD is an object file library.  It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.

BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.

The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect.  Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.

There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.

BFD is normally built as part of another package.  See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.

BFD supports the following configure options:

  --target=TARGET
	The default target for which to build the library.  TARGET is
	a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
  --enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
	Additional targets the library should support.  To include
	support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
  --enable-64-bit-bfd
	Include support for 64 bit targets.  This is automatically
	turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
	for --enable-targets=all.  This requires a compiler with a 64
	bit integer type, such as gcc.
  --enable-shared
	Build BFD as a shared library.
  --with-mmap
	Use mmap when accessing files.  This is faster on some hosts,
	but slower on others.  It may not work on all hosts.

Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.

Patches are encouraged.  When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file.  Do not
send default diff output.  Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file.  Remember that any patch must not break other
systems.  Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable.  Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.

Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
