[ Ping!  Hmm, I probably should have posted this as a RFA in the first place. ]

Now that I have a valid copyright assignment in place for binutils
too, I formally submite the attached patch.

The rationale for the patch is that it makes life on the GDB side a
lot easier.  Instead of duplicating much of the code I can simply look
for the appropriate section.

Nick, OK to check this in now?
