    elf32_arm_get_synthetic_symtab memory leak
    
    ARM get_synthetic_symtab reads .plt and caches that data.  Caching the
    data doesn't make a lot of sense since get_synthetic_symtab is only
    called once per bfd, and the memory might be put to better use.  It
    also leaks on closing the bfd.
    
            * elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_get_synthetic_symtab): Don't cache
            plt contents.  Free plt data before returning.
