SECTION
	ELF backends

	BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on.
	Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386
	(running svr4 or Solaris 2).

	Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs
	to be written.  The code is changing quickly enough that we
	haven't bothered yet.  */

   Since program segments have no names, we generate a synthetic name

   program header table.  For segments that are split (see below) we
   generate the names segment<NUM>a and segment<NUM>b.

   Note that some program segments may have a file size that is different than
   (less than) the memory size.  All this means is that at execution the
   system must allocate the amount of memory specified by the memory size,
   but only initialize it with the first "file size" bytes read from the
   file.  This would occur for example, with program segments consisting
   of combined data+bss.

   To handle the above situation, this routine generates TWO bfd sections
   for the single program segment.  The first has the length specified by
   the file size of the segment, and the second has the length specified
   by the difference between the two sizes.  In effect, the segment is split
   into its initialized and uninitialized parts.
