The patch in:
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/binutils/2000-01/msg00079.html
makes use of a GNU C extension and therefore breaks compilation on other
compilers.
This might be OK if it's a conscious decision to do so, but there probably
needs to be a better justification.
Since we always link against libiberty, Replacing
char buff[bfd_coff_filhsz (abfd)];
with
char *buff = alloca(bfd_coff_filhsz (abfd));
is probably adequate if this really is desirable.
