I know we do that elsewhere in BFD, but I hate it due to problems
with debuggers. eg. with gdb-4.18 and gcc-2.95 I have trouble
putting breakpoints on anything within elflink.h, even after
allowing for name changes due to #defines.
Can you instead make elf32-i386.c support two targets, as
elf32-hppa.c does?
