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.
* 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.
* ldexp.c, ldlang.c, ldmain.c: reflect this
* ldver.c: bump version to 1.97.1
* ldindr.c (add_indirect): when an edict declaring an indirect
symbol is found, make sure that any ideas about the symbol being
common are changed if it now known to be defined.
* ldmain.c (linear_library): complain once if archive isn't
ranlibbed.
* ldlang.h, ldlang.c: make room for and initialize the complain
once field.
