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.
(2) restructure machine dependencies into separate chapter
(3) replace pretty, but quick to become obsolete, graph of BFD platforms
vs architectures with extended excerpt from (and ref to ) objdump -i.
description believed complete as of today; still holes---small
ones---in "commands" section. BFD section also needs better table of
supported archs and formats; see FIXMEs for scattered q's and
desiderata.
