[RFA/patch] TI COFF0 and COFF1 support for eveyone

[Svein E. Seldal]

Hi,

The tic4x target is able to read, in addition to the standard coff2, the 
coff0 and coff1 fileformats -- both little and big-endian versions. For 
this to work you will need the coff swap tables for that specific coff 
format and some small function. All of this is implemented in the tic4x 
target already (and duplicated in tic54x).

Are there any interest in exporting/moving this code? Because, I can 
surely export it to another, more global file, if there are interests in 
having this support.

I guess this applies to the TI targets, but there may be other coff 
targets that may benefit from this.

I see that the tic4x and the tic54x targets have duplicated code which 
does exactly the same thing. So I would guess that this is reason enough 
to move this code from the tagets and into the global trunk.

Attached is my contribution and suggestions. Any comments/objections? 
Should I go ahead and check it in?


Regards,
Svein
