Uh.  I see.  So much for trying to get rid of one more call to
bfd_alloc.  This is easy to fix, though.

Presumably, it doesn't.  If it's not an ELF bfd, it has no way to tell
which ABI to disassemble for.

That's exactly what I'm trying to do :-)

Is there any chance of getting this in after fixing the memory
allocation issue, or must I try to introduce some means for the caller
to specify which ABI to disassemble for?
