 Support Libraries
 *****************
 
 BFD
 ===
 
    BFD provides support for GDB in several ways:
 
 _identifying executable and core files_
      BFD will identify a variety of file types, including a.out, coff,
      and several variants thereof, as well as several kinds of core
      files.
 
 _access to sections of files_
      BFD parses the file headers to determine the names, virtual
      addresses, sizes, and file locations of all the various named
      sections in files (such as the text section or the data section).
      GDB simply calls BFD to read or write section X at byte offset Y
      for length Z.
 
 _specialized core file support_
      BFD provides routines to determine the failing command name stored
      in a core file, the signal with which the program failed, and
      whether a core file matches (i.e. could be a core dump of) a
      particular executable file.
 
 _locating the symbol information_
      GDB uses an internal interface of BFD to determine where to find
      the symbol information in an executable file or symbol-file.  GDB
      itself handles the reading of symbols, since BFD does not
      "understand" debug symbols, but GDB uses BFD's cached information
      to find the symbols, string table, etc.
 
 opcodes
 =======
 
    The opcodes library provides GDB's disassembler.  (It's a separate
 library because it's also used in binutils, for `objdump').
 
 readline
 ========
 
 mmalloc
 =======
 
 libiberty
 =========
 
 gnu-regex
 =========
 
    Regex conditionals.
