Merge ^/vendor/binutils/dist@214571 into contrib/binutils, which brings
us up to version 2.17.50.20070703, at the last GPLv2 commit. Amongst others, this added upstream support for some FreeBSD-specific things that we previously had to manually hack in, such as the OSABI label support, and so on. There are also quite a number of new files, some for cpu's (e.g. SPU) that we may or may not be interested in, but those can be cleaned up later on, if needed.

-@section ELF backends
-BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on.
-Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386
-(running svr4 or Solaris 2).
-
-Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs
-to be written. The code is changing quickly enough that we
-haven't bothered yet.

-Helper functions for GDB to locate the string tables.
-Since BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an
-internal hook to find them. Sun's .stabstr, in particular,
-isn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary
-mechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some.
