Maciej W. Rozycki 37f9ec62db GAS: Add ECOFF `.aent' pseudo-op support
Implement the ECOFF `.aent' pseudo-op for ECOFF-style `.mdebug' section
support with ELF objects and, for consistency, also with ECOFF objects.
This is so that the same MIPS source can be assembled without and with
`.mdebug' section generation enabled.

Taking the `gas/testsuite/gas/mips/aent.s' test case source as an
example and the `mips-linux' target we have:

$ as -o aent.o aent.s
$ as -mdebug -o aent.o aent.s
aent.s: Assembler messages:
aent.s:10: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.aent'
$

because for the !ECOFF_DEBUGGING case (which is the default) the
pseudo-op is already handled by the MIPS backend with `s_mips_ent',
however no handler is present for the opposite case.

For the MIPS target this is a functional regression introduced with
commit ecb4347ade ("Last take: approval for MIPS_STABS_ELF killing"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-06/msg00443.html>, where
support for the `.mdebug' section was added along with its associated
`-mdebug'/`-no-mdebug' command-line options, bringing an inconsistency
between the assembly syntax supported for each of these options as far
as the `.aent' pseudo-op is concerned.

Assembly language documentation available describes the pseudo-op
respectively as follows[1]:

"
.aent name, symno Sets an alternate entry point for the current
                  procedure.  Use this information when you want
                  to generate information for the debugger.  It must
                  appear inside an .ent/.end pair."

and[2]:

"
.aent name [,symno]
     Sets an alternate entry point for the current procedure.  Use this
     information when you want to generate information for the debugger.
     This directive must appear between a pair of .ent and .end directives.
     (The optional symno is for compiler use only.  It refers to a dense
     number in a .T file (symbol table).)"

Copy the approach from `s_mips_ent' then and add `.aent' support to the
`.ent' pseudo-op handler shared between the ELF and ECOFF object file
format backends, by setting BSF_FUNCTION for the symbol requested.

		   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.
