[patch bfd]: Prevent possible buffer overflow on pdata-section sorting

[Kai Tietz]

Hello,

this issue was reported by H. Becker to me.  He found that the code in
peXXigen.c about pdata-section sorting might cause a buffer-overrun
for large pdata-data.  By working in private allocated buffer -
instead of using the pfinfo->contents - avoids this.

ChangeLog

2011-04-06  Kai Tietz

        * peXXigen.c (_bfd_XXi_final_link_postscripte): Sort pdata in temporary
        buffer.

Tested for x86_64-w64-mingw32. Ok for apply?

Regards,
Kai
