Following up on Tom's suggestion I am checking in a patch to replace the various
bfd_xxx_set macros with static inline functions, so that we can avoid compile time
warnings about comma expressions with unused values.

AIX 32-bit core loading, high section addresses.
I noticed GDB was failing to enable threading support for 32-bit AIX
cores. I traced it to failure to read variables from libpthreads.a.
The issue is that data for that library is loaded at a high address,
and bfd is sign extending the section addresses:

Notice:
...

Those are the bfd section start/end addresses. It't not visible here:
...
0xf0298000 - 0xf029bfcc is .data in /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)
...
... just because GDB trims that number to 32-bit when printing.
GDB then fails to find the memory for libpthreads.a variables in the
core, and falls back to reading it directly from the executable (which
yields the values as originally initialized in the code).
E.g.:
(gdb) p &__n_pthreads
$2 = (<data variable, no debug info> *) 0xf074fda8 <__n_pthreads>
(gdb) p __n_pthreads
$1 = -1
That should have returned 2 instead of -1.
