This is a follow up to a post from some time ago to enable aarch64
ILP32 support in gdb.
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-09/msg00004.html
Andrew Pinksi submitted these patches and I have updated them,
addressed the comments that were made at the time, and retested
them. Andrew broke them down into 3 patches I am submitting it as two
patches, this first one is the changes to bfd. This patch removes the
ilp32/lp64 checking that is done in compatible and moves it to
elfNN_aarch64_merge_private_bfd_data. Doing it in compatible is too
early for gdb. The patch also adds an endianness check to
elfNN_aarch64_merge_private_bfd_data. The second patch will contain
the gdb changes.

* cpu-aarch64.c (compatible):
Don't reject different ILP32/LP64 ABI's here.
* elfnn-aarch64.c (elfNN_aarch64_merge_private_bfd_data):
Add an error message on why endianess is rejected.
Reject different ILP32/LP64 ABI settings.
