[patch] Add bfd_target_info function to bfd and unify windres/windmc target information gathering

[Kai Tietz-2]

Hello,

this patch adds to bfd's targets.c an new function, which is mainly a
move from code in windres/windmc about target information gathering.
This function is mainly the same as bfd_find_target function, but it
allows to query optional for endianess, underscoring-character, and
architecture for the target, too.
This function I want to use in gas, dlltool, and ld for implementing
the underscoring detection for specific targets in a future patch.

ChangeLog for bfd

2009-11-05  Kai Tietz  <kai.tietz@...>

        * targets.c (bfd_target_info): New function.
        * bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

ChangeLog for binutils

2009-11-05  Kai Tietz  <kai.tietz@...>

        * windmc.c (set_endianess): Use bfd_target_info.
        * windres.c (set_endianess): Likewise.
        (find_arch_match): Removed.


Tested for i686-pc-cygwin, i686-pc-mingw32, and x86_64-pc-mingw32. Ok for apply?

Cheers,
Kai
