--- Comment #10 from Tom Tromey <tromey at redhat dot com> ---
On further reflection I think the patch as applied will
cause gdb crashes.  Due to the historical oddity of how
the BFD's filename was handled, gdb chose to go its own
route and reallocate the filename on the BFD's objalloc.
However the new patch requires the filename to be
malloc'd -- but in gdb this will not be the case.
Also IIRC from when I looked into this, some of the binutils
also play games with the filename.  I think a fuller audit
is needed.
