Can you be specific? The bfd_elf_bfd_from_remote_memory code in BFD now
works just fine. There is a standing suggestion from Jim to change the
signature of the TARGET_READ_MEMORY function pointer argument, which is
certainly fine (and two minutes' work). I would be happy to prepare that
change right away if it's what people want.

I don't know of any other way in which this might be considered "dropped"
or "not sorted out". If there is anything else you have in mind, please
tell me about it.

Thanks,
Roland
