[patch]: make idata$4 and .idata$5 more compliant to coff spec

["Kai Tietz" <ktietz70 at googlemail dot com>]

Hi,

this patch cleans up an unnecessary spec violation for coff. For each
import library linked into an executable there are leading zero
elements added to idata$4 and idata$5. By this patch those elements
aren't wrote anymore. I tested it for arm-mingwce, x86_64-pc-mingw32
and for i686-pc-mingw32 without seeing any regressions.

ChangeLog for binutils

2009-01-01  Kai Tietz  <kai.tietz@onevision.com>

	* dlltool.c (make_head): Don't write out zero elements at
	start of initial idata$4 and idata$5.

ChangeLog for ld

2009-01-01  Kai Tietz  <kai.tietz@onevision.com>

	* pe-dll.c (make_head):  Don't write out zero elements at
	start of initial idata$4 and idata$5.
	(make_import_fixup_entry): Likewise.

Is this patch ok for apply?

Cheers,
Kai
