In out of memory scenarios (where one of these allocations failed but
other(s) did not), nm(1) could reference the uninitialized value of these
allocations (undefined behavior).
Always initialize any successful allocations as the most expedient
resolution of the issue. However, I would encourage upstream elftoolchain
contributors to clean up the error path to just abort immediately, rather
than proceeding sloppily when one allocation fails.

Improvements include:
* Add support for reporting and handling a number of new constants in
various tools, including:
* CloudABI OSABI
* DT_TLSDESC_*
* i386, MIPS, SPARC and amd64 relocations
* C++ demangler bug fixes
* Man page updates
* Improved input validation in several tools
This update also reduces diffs against upstream as a number of fixes
included in upstream were previously cherry-picked into FreeBSD.

This can occur when DW_AT_specification is used to refer to another DIE
that provides the actual DW_AT_name string. For example:
< 3><0x00000086> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_name PrettyStackTraceEntry
...
< 1><0x00002cf4> DW_TAG_subprogram
DW_AT_specification <0x00000086>
We will need to add support for DW_AT_specification, but in the interim
we should not segfault.
