Hello,
I'm merging in my local bfd changes with bfd-2.5 and noticed the
following still lerking in the file `bfd/netbsd.h'
	o	#define N_HEADER_IN_TEXT(x)	1 /* NOT 0 */
		I can't think of a NetBSD binary that doesn't have
		the header in the first page of the text segment.
	o	#define TEXT_START_ADDR         PAGE_SIZE /* NOT 0 */
		Ditto, The entry point being PAGE_SIZE + SIZEOF(header)
	o	N_MAGIC(ex)
		Doesn't need to be defined as the include/a.out one is
		correct.  Further, the conditional:
			(ex).a_info)&0xffff0000) ? ...
		is wrong.  That is a hangover from 386BSD.
	o	#define N_MACHTYPE(exec) \
		((enum machine_type)(((exec).a_info >> 16) & 0x3ff))
		This macro is needed but that conditional isn't.
	o	N_SET_INFO/N_SET_MAGIC/N_SET_MACHTYPE/N_SET_FLAGS
		While N_SET_INFO() uses htonl() to put the magic
		number in NETWORK byte order, the others macro's
		do not.
		I prefer the callbacks (fix_{incomming/outgoing}_header).
If interested in a replacement netbsd.h, let me know.  Comments?
