Re: --enable-targets=all cannot work with bfd?

[Hui Zhu <teawater@gmail.com>]

If gdb still doesn't have some way to handle it, I have a idea on it.

In bfd_check_format_matches, if match_count > 1, mean that there are
more than one bfd_target fit with the file, it will check
"bfd_associated_vector".
static const bfd_target *_bfd_associated_vector[] = {
#ifdef ASSOCIATED_VECS
	ASSOCIATED_VECS,
#endif
	NULL
};
I think we can extend it.
static const bfd_target *_bfd_associated_vector[] = {
#ifdef DEFAULT_VECTOR
	&DEFAULT_VECTOR,
#endif
#ifdef ASSOCIATED_VECS
	ASSOCIATED_VECS,
#endif
	NULL
};

Add a new function set_bfd_associated_vector in there can set the
first member of _bfd_associated_vector.
And add a new cmd in gdb called "set bfd" to set it.
Then, user can set it when he need. Of course, we can post some hint
when he get "File format is ambiguous".

I did a small try on it, it worked OK.

What do you think about it?


Thanks,
Hui
