Re: [patch] coff-stgo32: Fix false format match

I have modified only coff-stgo32.c ("coff-go32-exe") which seems to always
offset everything of COFF by GO32_STUBSIZE.

There is also coff-go32.c ("coff-go32") but I haven't touched that one.

My former patch for coff-go32-exe does MZ check && coff magic check.
The FSF binutils HEAD code does                    coff magic check.
Your proposed IIUC                     MZ check || coff magic check
is not useful because the coff magic check itself has the false positives.

Still I do not know whether there isn't in use some alternative env(GO32STUB)
for a .com file - where for .com there would be no 'MZ' signature.


Alternatively proposing the patch below.
No regressions x86_64-fedora16pre-linux-gnu --target=i386-unknown-go32.


Thanks,
Jan

	Fix false coff-go32-exe matches.
	* coff-i386.c (TARGET_SYM) <match_priority>: Use TARGET_MATCH_PRIORITY
	if available.
	* coff-stgo32.c (TARGET_MATCH_PRIORITY): New defintion.
