This version of your patch (returning NULL) is approved for the
mainline, and I suspect that Daniel will approve it for the branch.
I agree that returning a NULL here can delay the detection of a problem,
but that will be because of poor coding (ie not checking the return
value of bfd_archive_filename) and in such cases the programmer gets
what they deserve.
Cheers
