Correct compiler error

binutils:  2.20.1
gcc version 4.3.3 (GCC) 
platform:  AIX adatx028 3 5 000D1D5A4C00
powerpc-ibm-aix5.3.0.0

Got a "fatal" warning when building binutils-2.20.1:
readelf.c:11200: error: array subscript is above array bounds

11200:  while ((arch->arhdr.ar_name[j] != '/') && (j < 16))

This is a bug since the array index is being referenced *before* it is bounds checked.  The attached patch corrected this error and compilation completed.
Comment 1 Alan Modra 2010-11-18 07:49:12 UTC 
Fixed already, but fix isn't ideal in that full ar_name won't be displayed.
