Re: xcoff64 bfd-bfd-in2.h.patch

Note that bfd-in2.h is a generated file.  There is no need to send
patches for it.  Instead, send patches to the source files.

To rebuild bfd-in2.h from sources, use `make headers'.

Also, I think this patch is wrong.  Generally, functions which are
invoked from outside BFD should be declared in bfd.h.  Header files
like libxcoff.h are for local use within BFD only.  I put those
functions in bfd.h in the first place because they are called by the
linker from outside BFD.  I don't think the linker should include
libxcoff.h.

Also, I note that people will certainly ask you for ChangeLog entries,
so be prepared to send those.  Perhaps you already plan to do this.
