Revised patch

Hi Guys,

  Right, here is a third version of the patch.  This revision adds a fix for
  setting the SHF_STRINGS bit in the flags of the .strtab and .shstrtab
sections
  (for Solaris only.  For other OSes the flags are left alone).

  It also adds a framework for allowing individual backends to set the sh_info
  and sh_link fields of special sections.  Dummy implementations are provided
  for Solaris targets, although with this version of the patch these functions
  do not actually do anything.

  I think that this version of the patch is sufficient for now.  It needs 
  someone with more experience of Solaris than me to actually implement the 
  target specific info/link function, and the current generic code does a 
  sufficiently good job to allow an objcopy'ed executable to still work.

  Any comments ?

Cheers
  Nick
