Thanks! This is approved, but please correct this one gotcha: > + If @var{bias} is non-zero, its value will be added to the addresses > + contained in the file.

The text inside @var should not span more than a single token. Since in this case `location' is not marked with @var elsewhere, I'd suggest to rewrite this like so: Other BFD files have a built-in location info; they will be restored at offset @var{bias} from that location.
