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.

	* bfd-in.h (bfd_set_section_vma): Delete.
	(bfd_set_section_alignment): Delete.
	(bfd_set_section_userdata): Delete.
	(bfd_set_cacheable): Delete.
	* bfd.c (bfd_set_cacheable): New static inline function.
	* section.c (bfd_set_section_userdata): Likewise.
	(bfd_set_section_vma): Likewise.
	(bfd_set_section_alignment): Likewise.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
