Nick Alcock 926c9e7665 libctf, binutils, include, ld: gettextize and improve error handling
This commit follows on from the earlier commit "libctf, ld, binutils:
add textual error/warning reporting for libctf" and converts every error
in libctf that was reported using ctf_dprintf to use ctf_err_warn
instead, gettextizing them in the process, using N_() where necessary to
avoid doing gettext calls unless an error message is actually generated,
and rephrasing some error messages for ease of translation.

This requires a slight change in the ctf_errwarning_next API: this API
is public but has not been in a release yet, so can still change freely.
The problem is that many errors are emitted at open time (whether
opening of a CTF dict, or opening of a CTF archive): the former of these
throws away its incompletely-initialized ctf_file_t rather than return
it, and the latter has no ctf_file_t at all. So errors and warnings
emitted at open time cannot be stored in the ctf_file_t, and have to go
elsewhere.

We put them in a static local in ctf-subr.c (which is not very
thread-safe: a later commit will improve things here): ctf_err_warn with
a NULL fp adds to this list, and the public interface
ctf_errwarning_next with a NULL fp retrieves from it.

We need a slight exception from the usual iterator rules in this case:
with a NULL fp, there is nowhere to store the ECTF_NEXT_END "error"
which signifies the end of iteration, so we add a new err parameter to
ctf_errwarning_next which is used to report such iteration-related
errors.  (If an fp is provided -- i.e., if not reporting open errors --
this is optional, but even if it's optional it's still an API change.
This is actually useful from a usability POV as well, since
ctf_errwarning_next is usually called when there's been an error, so
overwriting the error code with ECTF_NEXT_END is not very helpful!
So, unusually, ctf_errwarning_next now uses the passed fp for its
error code *only* if no errp pointer is passed in, and leaves it
untouched otherwise.)

ld, objdump and readelf are adapted to call ctf_errwarning_next with a
NULL fp to report open errors where appropriate.

The ctf_err_warn API also has to change, gaining a new error-number
parameter which is used to add the error message corresponding to that
error number into the debug stream when LIBCTF_DEBUG is enabled:
changing this API is easy at this point since we are already touching
all existing calls to gettextize them.  We need this because the debug
stream should contain the errno's message, but the error reported in the
error/warning stream should *not*, because the caller will probably
report it themselves at failure time regardless, and reporting it in
every error message that leads up to it leads to a ridiculous chattering
on failure, which is likely to end up as ridiculous chattering on stderr
(trimmed a bit):

CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): lookup failure for type 3: flags 1: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
CTF error: `ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c (0): struct/union member type hashing error during type hashing for type 80000001, kind 6: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
CTF error: `deduplicating link variable emission failed for ld/testsuite/ld-ctf/A.c: The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'
ld/.libs/lt-ld-new: warning: CTF linking failed; output will have no CTF section: `The parent CTF dictionary is unavailable'

We only need to be told that the parent CTF dictionary is unavailable
*once*, not over and over again!

errmsgs are still emitted on warning generation, because warnings do not
usually lead to a failure propagated up to the caller and reported
there.

Debug-stream messages are not translated.  If translation is turned on,
there will be a mixture of English and translated messages in the debug
stream, but rather that than burden the translators with debug-only
output.

		   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.
