Tom Tromey eac61af65b Allow BFD to recognize macOS universal libraries
Bug #13157 is about a gdb regression, where previously it could handle
universal libraries, but now cannot.

gdb isn't working for me on macOS for other reasons, so I wrote this
small test program to show the problem:

    #include <config.h>
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include <bfd.h>

    void
    die (const char *what)
    {
      fprintf (stderr, "die: %s\n", what);
      exit (1);
    }

    int
    main (int argc, char **argv)
    {
      bfd *file = bfd_openr (argv[1], NULL);
      if (file == NULL)
	die ("couldn't open");

      if (!bfd_check_format (file, bfd_archive))
	die ("not an archive");

      printf ("yay\n");

      bfd_close (file);
      return 0;
    }

Then I built a simple universal binary.  With git master BFD, I get:

    $ ./doit ./universal-exe
    die: not an archive

Jeff Muizelaar tracked this down to the BFD change for PR binutils/21787.
This patch changed bfd_generic_archive_p to sometimes reset the BFD's
"format" field.

However, simply changing bfd_generic_archive_p regressed the test case
in that bug.

Debugging PR binutils/21787 again, what I saw is that the mach-o
universal binary support acts like a bfd_archive but does not provide
a _close_and_cleanup function.  However, if a BFD appears as an
archive member, it must always remove its own entry from its parent's
map.  Otherwise, when the parent is destroyed, the already-destroyed
child BFD will be referenced.  mach-o does not use the usual archive
member support, so simply using _bfd_archive_close_and_cleanup (as
other targets do) will not work.

This patch fixes the problem by introducing a new
_bfd_unlink_from_archive_parent function, then arranging for it to be
called in the mach-o case.

Ok?

		   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.
