Bah, there are copies of leb128 reading code all over the toolchain.
binutils/ has read_leb128, gold/ has read_unsigned_LEB_128, gcc
has a copy or two as well.  And then the bfd version (and gdb's
version, which seems to have been copied from bfd's) needs a bfd
pointer, but it's not really necessary.  Cleaning this all
up quickly falls out of scope, so...

Patch is OK.
