Hello,

Assuming I'm reading the code right.  BFD has the declarations:

typedef struct sec
{
   ...
} asection;
typedef struct sec *sec_ptr;

GDB uses all three (sec_ptr, asection, struct sec) and that makes things 
pretty confusing.  Consequently, I've added asection and sec_ptr to the 
ARI.  Instead people can use `struct sec *' which is consistent with 
GDB's other types.

enjoy,
Andrew
