Hi Jakub,

The code is the documentation. :-) OK, so that is not the greatest situation,
but it is basically true. There is a file bfd/doc/bfdint.texi which you ought
to look at. Plus of course familiarity with how bfd works helps a lot.

No, it is best to keep this new functionality separate and have a new jump table.

Yes, although you can ease this somewhat by providing a default definition in
elfxx-target.h, so that you do not have to handle every ELF based target
separately.

In bfd.c

Spot on. :-)
