[Bug binutils/6937] New: binutils 2.18 fails linking libopcodes.so due to missing symbols

[ps dot m at gmx dot net]

I tried to compile binutils-2.18 for armv5te-softfloat-linux-uclibc target with
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-z,defs". libopcodes.so fails to link due to missing symbols that
are in libiberty.a (floatformat_to_double and floatformat_ieee_single_little
used in arm-dis.c). The *cygwin targets already have a fix in cvs for this
adding -L`pwd`/../libiberty -liberty to SHARED_LIBADD (opcodes/configure.in),
probably the dependency has to fixed too, adding `pwd`/../libiberty/libiberty.a
to it

Additional comment:
haven't tried to compile the cvs sources, but reading the code arm-dis.c uses
the functions in floatformat, so it should have the same problem if it does not
link against libiberty.a. The *cygwin target is fixed (since cygwin will bail
out on undefined symbols), I do not really know if all other cases in cvs should
be fixed, the case I am speaking about is the host == * && host_vendor != hp in
opcodes/configure.in, although limited to arm*. Note: the only other arch using
in *-dis.c some floatformat function is m68k, so m68k is affected too
