+ * elf64-ppc.c (OPD_NDX): Define. Use throughout for sizing/indexing
+ _opd_sec_data array, halving required memory.
+ (sort_r_offset): New function.
+ (ppc64_elf_edit_opd): Sort incoming relocs. Accept .opd
+ sections with a mix of 16 and 24 byte OPD entries. Don't
+ attempt to honour --non-overlapping-opd for .opd sections with
+ unexpected relocs. Simplify opd entry size calculations by
+ first finding the reloc for the next entry. Make edit loop
+ handle one opd entry per iteration, with an inner loop
+ handling relocs per entry.

+ * archive.c (do_slurp_coff_armap): Add range checks to prevent

+ * compress.c (bfd_get_full_section_contents): Return a NULL

+ * elf-attrs.c (_bfd_elf_parse_attributes): Check for an empty
