i'm not sure if we have a debugging facility in bfd already, but assuming we don't, write this instead as: #define D(x) do { if (0) x; } while (0)

that way the code will always get compiled and you'll notice problems in the
message over time as code changes.

Bfd has very little debugging code, but there is an example in bfdwin.c. This uses a global symbol which can be set by a debugger to enable debug output. A better method is to enable this by a command line option, but this may not be as practical for bfd, which is used by several components.

If the debug code is really necessary, it should not require someone
to modify the file to enable it.

I think that this is development code and is not needed.
