    PR23994, libbfd integer overflow
    
    	PR 23994
    	* aoutx.h: Include limits.h.
    	(get_reloc_upper_bound): Detect long overflow and return a file
    	too big error if it occurs.
    	* elf.c: Include limits.h.
    	(_bfd_elf_get_symtab_upper_bound): Detect long overflow and return
    	a file too big error if it occurs.
    	(_bfd_elf_get_dynamic_symtab_upper_bound): Likewise.
    	(_bfd_elf_get_dynamic_reloc_upper_bound): Likewise.

Fixed, along with some similar cases.

hi,I have some questions about this vulnerability.
1. Do you have to compile in 32-bit to get this exception?
2. Can you provide the source code of poc1 and poc2 that reproduce the error?
3. How is the error details above displayed?
