Unlike many other architectures, x86 does not share an opcode table
between assembly and disassembly. Any consumer of libopcodes would only
ever access one of the two.

Unlike many other architectures, x86 does not share an opcode table
between assembly and disassembly. Any consumer of libopcodes would only
ever access one of the two. Since gas is the only consumer of the
assembly data, move it there. While doing so mark respective entities
"static" in i386-gen (we may want to do away with i386_regtab_size
altogether).
This also shrinks the number of relocations to be processed for
libopcodes.so by about 30%.

The only item gas still consumes from libopcodes is i386_seg_prefixes[],
which again is used by gas alone. Move it into the assembler, allowing
to remove the linking in of libopcodes.
To compensate, tie table generation in opcodes/ to the building of
i386-dis.o, despite the file not really depending on the generated data.
---
RFC: Is there a better way to specify extra dependencies, such that
table generation and compilation of i386-dis.c could be kept
separate (and hence processable in parallel)?

Correct, but it is needed to fulfill the purpose of the patch as per
its title. Otherwise an unused NEEDED entry remains in gas'es .dynamic.

I'll split, but I'm nevertheless curious as to why: With it in a separate
patch, there'll be an intermediate bogus state - gas will require
libopcodes.so for no reason. Personally I'd consider such a (minor) bug.

It should be the first patch, not the last.

I checked in a patch to move it.

Of course it cannot be the last one; in my v2 series it would have been
patch 2, but now you've already committed a patch to do that move. You
don't, however, answer my question, because from my pov the configure
change now ought to become part of patch 1 (i.e. again the one removing
the last dependency). As said - I'll submit the updated series, but I
would _still_ like to have an answer to the "Why?" question. Not the
least also going forward, in case a somewhat similar change would turn
up again.
