PATCH for bfd in binutils-2.9.1/gdb-4.17

[Manfred Hollstein <manfred@s-direktnet.de>]

This small patch fixes a bug I observed while running gdb-4.17
on a mips-sgi-irix5.3 system.  Since the debuggee's debug info
was larger than the system's virtual memory was able to provide,
the "goto error_return" in bfd/elf32-mips.c:_bfd_mips_elf_read_ecoff_info
got executed, which in turn tries to cleanup allocated memory.
Unfortunately, it's simply checking probably unitialized
memory to decide whether it should.

Later,
manfred

	allocated members will be free'ed at error_return.
