Nick Alcock 908a7e7167 libctf: open, types: ctf_import for BTF
ctf_import needs a bunch of fixes to work with pure BTF dicts -- and, for
that matter, importing newly-created parent dicts that have never been
written out, which may have a bunch of nonprovisional types (if types were
added to it before any imports were done) or may not (if at least one
ctf_import into it was done before any types were added).

So we adjust things so that the values that are checked against are the
nonprovisional-types values: the header revisions actually changed the name
of cth_parent_typemax to cth_parent_ntypes to make this clearer, so catch up
with that.  In the parent, we have to use ctf_idmax, not ctf_typemax.

One thing we must prohibit is that you cannot add a bunch of types to a
child and then import a parent into it: the type IDs will all be wrong
and the string offsets more so.  This was partly prohibited: prohibit it
entirely (excepting only that the not-actually-written-out void type
we might add to new BTF dicts does not influence this check).

Since BTF children don't have a cth_parent_ntypes or a cth_parent_strlen, we
cannot check this stuff, but just set them and hope.

		   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

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