    include: drop bout.h
    
    gas'es obj-bout.c was dropped about 20 years ago, while bfd's bout.c was
    dropped almost 7 years ago. Time for the unused header to go away, too.

-/* All i80960 development is done in a CROSS-DEVELOPMENT environment.  I.e.,
-   object code is generated on, and executed under the direction of a symbolic
-   debugger running on, a host system.  We do not want to be subject to the
-   vagaries of which host it is or whether it supports COFF or a.out format,
-   or anything else.  We DO want to:
-  
-  	o always generate the same format object files, regardless of host.
- 
- 	o have an 'a.out' header that we can modify for our own purposes
- 	  (the 80960 is typically an embedded processor and may require
- 	  enhanced linker support that the normal a.out.h header can't
- 	  accommodate).
- 
-  As for byte-ordering, the following rules apply:
- 
- 	o Text and data that is actually downloaded to the target is always
- 	  in i80960 (little-endian) order.
- 
- 	o All other numbers (in the header, symbols, relocation directives)
- 	  are in host byte-order:  object files CANNOT be lifted from a
- 	  little-end host and used on a big-endian (or vice versa) without
- 	  modification.
-  ==> THIS IS NO LONGER TRUE USING BFD.  WE CAN GENERATE ANY BYTE ORDER
-      FOR THE HEADER, AND READ ANY BYTE ORDER.  PREFERENCE WOULD BE TO
-      USE LITTLE-ENDIAN BYTE ORDER THROUGHOUT, REGARDLESS OF HOST.  <==
- 
- 	o The downloader ('comm960') takes care to generate a pseudo-header
- 	  with correct (i80960) byte-ordering before shipping text and data
- 	  off to the NINDY monitor in the target systems.  Symbols and
- 	  relocation info are never sent to the target.  */

- 
-  If non-zero, the 'n_other' fields indicates either a leaf procedure or
-  a system procedure, as follows:
- 
- 	1 <= n_other <= 32 :
- 		The symbol is the entry point to a system procedure.
- 		'n_value' is the address of the entry, as for any other
- 		procedure.  The system procedure number (which can be used in
- 		a 'calls' instruction) is (n_other-1).  These entries come from
- 		'.sysproc' directives.
- 
- 	n_other == N_CALLNAME
- 		the symbol is the 'call' entry point to a leaf procedure.
- 		The *next* symbol in the symbol table must be the corresponding
- 		'bal' entry point to the procedure (see following).  These
- 		entries come from '.leafproc' directives in which two different
- 		symbols are specified (the first one is represented here).
- 	
- 
- 	n_other == N_BALNAME
- 		the symbol is the 'bal' entry point to a leaf procedure.
- 		These entries result from '.leafproc' directives in which only
- 		one symbol is specified, or in which the same symbol is
- 		specified twice.
- 
-  Note that an N_CALLNAME entry *must* have a corresponding N_BALNAME entry,
-  but not every N_BALNAME entry must have an N_CALLNAME entry.  */
