[PATCH] fix ar/ranlib regression with ar_fmag clobberation


This change:

	2012-05-16  Alan Modra  <amodra@gmail.com>

		* archive.c (_bfd_generic_read_ar_hdr_mag):  Ensure sscanf
		stops at end of ar_size field.

results in clobbering the stored ar_fmag field.  Among other things,
this makes ranlib produce a malformed archive.

A simple fix is below.

Ok for trunk?


Thanks,
Roland

	* archive.c (_bfd_generic_read_ar_hdr_mag): Fix last change so as
	not to clobber the ar_fmag field stored in ARED->arch_header.
