Nick Alcock 61914bb699 libctf: failure to open parent dicts that exist should be an error
CTF archive member opening (via ctf_arc_open_by_name, ctf_archive_iter, et
al) attempts to be helpful and auto-open and import any needed parent dict
in the same archive.  But if this fails, the error is not reported but
simply discarded, and you silently get back a dict with no parent, that
*you* suddenly have to remember to import.

This is not helpful behaviour: if the parent is corrupted or we run out of
memory or something, the caller is going to want to know!  Split it in two:
if the dict cites a parent that doesn't exist at all (a lot of historic
dicts name "PARENT" as their parent, even when they're not even children, or
perhaps the parent dict is stored separately and you plan to manually
associate it), we skip it as now, but if the import fails with an actual
error other than ECTF_ARNNAME, return the error and fail the open.

libctf/
	* ctf-archive.c (ctf_arc_import_parent):  Return failure if
        parent opening fails for reasons other thnn nonexistence.
	(ctf_dict_open_sections): Adjust.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
