getObjectType doesn't understand abbreviated names in headers

If getObjectType is passed an archive member whose name has been abbreviated in the ar header, it might return the wrong type. This is because we're not passing in the decoded name; we're passing in just the ar header. The effect of this bug is to cause spurious warnings while linking archives (e.g. libstdc++) with gccld. It could theoretically happen on any platform, I think, but I noticed it on the Mac.

As above.
