It wasn't documented (or likely used) and wastes time.
(try_open): If EXTEN is empty, don't try it.
* ldctor.c, lderror.c, ldexp.c, ldfile.c, ldindr.c, ldlang.c,
ldlex.l, ldmain.c, ldmisc.c, ldsym.c, ldver.c, ldwarn.c,
ldwrite.c, lexsup.c, mri.c, relax.c: Replace DEFUN macro calls
with normal function declarations.
* Move *.em to emultempl/*.em. Move *.sh to emulparams/*.sh.
Move *.sc-sh to scripttempl/*.sc.
* {emultempl,emulparams,scripttempl}/README: New files.
* sh.em, st2000.em, z8ksim.em, h8300hms.em, h8500hms.em: Files
removed, replaced with generic.em.
* h8300.sh, h8500.sh, h8300.sc, h8500.sc: Renamed from
h8[35]00hms.s[ch]. Change their contents to omit the "hms".
* *.em (*_get_script): Return script name instead of script contents.
* ldlang.c (lang_process): Change caller.
* ldlex.l, ldgram.y: Recognize -m option.
Check for input files after *all* options in grammar.
* ldmain.c (main): Check for -m options. Add default directory
for -m.
* mkscript.c: File removed.
* genscripts.sh: Take two more parameters, tooldirlib and libdir,
to add to the default LIB_PATH.
Look for input files in the new subdirectories.
Create the scripts in emulations subdirectory and don't filter
them through mkscript.
* configure.in: Make the emulations subdirectory.
* Makefile.in: Account for all of the above changes.
Remove unused .SUFFIXES. Get libgcc.a path with gcc
-print-libgcc-file-name instead of $(libdir)/libgcc.a.
Put CFLAGS last in the compilation rules.
Add -I../bfd to INCLUDES so sysdep.h is found.
* ldfile.c (try_open): If opening without the extension fails,
try with the extension even if -v or -V was given.
had_script is imported (from ldgram.y), not exported.
(mips-idt-ecoff*): Added trailing '*'.
* config/mips-idtl.mt: New file; use EMUL of mipsidtl.
* mipsidtl.sh: New file; like mipsidt.sh, but little endian.
* Makefile.in (ALL_EMULATIONS): Added em_mipsidtl.o.
* ldindr.c (add_indirect): Keep more information in the alias
symbol chain.
* ldlang.c (wild_doit): Don't inherit NEVER_LOAD section
attribute from an input section.
* ldmain.c (Q_enter_file_symbols): Common section is NEVER_LOAD by
default. (Q_enter_file_symbos): Indirect symbols now are known by
their section, not a special symbol flag.
* ldsym.c (write_file_locals): Indirect symbols aren't local.
(write_file_globals): Write the mapping for an indirect symbol.
* relax.c (build_it): When forced to write a NEVER_LOAD section,
fill it with zeros.
* ldlang.c (lang_relocate_globals): avoid possible hang with
undefined but unreferenced symbols.
* relax.c (relax_section): don't complain if the script file isn't
relaxable but -relax is set
* mips.sc-sh: Put .scommon sections into .sbss section.
* ldmain.c (subfile_wanted_p): Preserve section of common symbols,
rather than always putting them in bfd_com_section.
* ldlang.c (lang_common): If a common symbol is not in
bfd_com_section, put in a section of the same name, rather than
always putting it in section COMMON.
* ldmain.c (subfile_wanted_p): If we already have a common
definition of a symbol, don't necessarily pull in an object file
that provides a non-common definition.
* ldlex.l (COMMAND): Accept -EB and -EL command line arguments,
returning OPTION_EB and OPTION_EL. gcc passes these to a MIPS
linker.
* ldgram.y (OPTION_EB, OPTION_EL): New tokens.
(command_line_option): Accept and ignore OPTION_EB and OPTION_EL.
* mips.sc-sh: New file. Ultrix, and hopefully other MIPS ECOFF
targets, linker script.
* mipslit.sh: New file. Little endian MIPS emulation.
* config/mips-lit.mt: New file. Use mipslit emulation.
* configure.in (mips-dec-ultrix*): Use target mips-lit.
* Makefile.in (ALL_EMULATIONS): Added em_mipslit.o.
(em_mipslit.c): New target. Uses mipslit.sh.
* ldwrite.c: Removed perform_relocation, copy_and_relocate, and
write_norel. All linking is now done via write_relax. Call
ldsym_write before calling write_relax.
* relax.c: Added copyright.
(write_relax): Renamed from write_relaxnorel. Added relocateable
argument. seclet_dump renamed to bfd_seclet_link.
* relax.h: Added copyright.
* m68kcoff.sc-sh: define _end as well as end, for consistency with
aout.sc-sh.
* configure.in: accept *-ericsson-ose for any m68k CPU.
* ldwrite.c (write_rel): don't always set SEC_HAS_CONTENTS flag
for each output section.
macro bfd_asymbol_bfd as appropriate.
* Makefile.in: Un-duplicate ldlex.c dependency.
* condigure.in: Replace my_host case table by sourcing
../bfd/configure.host. Allow std-host as the default.
* ldmisc.c: Change logic for C++ name demangling: There is
no initial '_' to remove from stab-derived function names.
* ld.texinfo: new doc.
* ldgram.y, ldlex.l: understand -y<symbol>
* ldmain.c (Q_enter_file_symbols): if had -y, lookup symbol and
print info. (add_ysym): new function.
* ldsym.h: (ldsym_type): new define SYM_Y.
ldlang.h, ldlex.h, ldmain.h, ldmisc.h, ldsym.h, ldver.h, ldwarn.h,
ldwrite.h, relax.h: Replace all uses of EXFUN and PROTO ansi-glue
macros with PARAMS. Recreational cleanup. Update copyrights.
* Support for i386-sysv.
configure.in: check for i386-*-sysv* and i386-*-sco*.
i386coff.sc-sh: rewrote to support SVR3 by default.
ldctor.c (find_constructors): preserve stat_ptr.
ldlang.c (wild_doit): initialize vma and size of new output
section to corresponding input section. This is required for
shared library support.
(lang_size_sections): don't modify vma and size of sections which
are never loaded (for shared libraries).
ldwrite.c (copy_and_relocate): copy the contents of any section
which has contents, not just sections which are loaded (for shared
libraries).
