  The shadowed variable is within ld.  It is not in scope of bfd.  During the
compilation of the actual function in bfd/reloc.c, there is no global
link_info in scope anywhere.  During the compilation of ld, when there is a
global link_info, the formal parameters of the function within bfd are not in
scope anywhere (well, except between the brackets in the function prototype;
the point is that the body of that function is never in scope during the
compilation of ld, because it's in an external static library, libbfd.)  There
is no possible way there can be any clash, so GCC is nuts to complain.

  This is GCC PR529(*), btw!  You're using some version of gcc-3, right?

    cheers,
