[patch] coff macros to make life easier

[Svein E. Seldal]

Hi,

I have made this patch where I has added an extra argument on the 
CREATE_BIG_COFF_TARGET_VEC and CREATE_LITTLE_COFF_TARGET_VEC.

I have also created the new CREATE_BIGHDR_COFF_TARGET_VEC for those 
hosts generating big endian headers, while the rest of the file remains 
little endian. (All big-endian TI tools (on Sparc) behaves like this).

Does anyone have any complaints about this patch? Can I commit it?

To the maintainers of coff-alpha.c, coff-i386.c, coff-i860.c, 
coff-i960.c, coff-ia64.c, coff-mips.c, coff-or32.c, coff-ppc.c, 
coff-rs6000.c, coff-sh.c, coff-tic30.c, coff-tic54x.c, coff64-rs600.c:

I just want to make you aware of the bfd_target macros 
CREATE_xxxx_COFF_TARGET_VEC. They may be able to replace your bfd_target 
struct definition, and save you for a lot of typing/maintenance. I did 
for me.

(I dont dare doing this myself, as I'm not capable of testing/verifying 
even half of the mentioned targets.)


Regards,
Svein
