The goal of this patch is to provide an easy way to make
--disable-werror the default when building binutils, or the parts
of binutils that need to get built when building GDB. In development
mode, we want to continue making -Werror the default with GCC.
But, when making releases, I think we want to make it as easy as
possible for regular users to successfully build from sources.
GDB already has this kind of feature to turn -Werror as well as
the use of the libmcheck library. As GDB Release Manager, I take
advantage of it to turn those off after having cut the branch.
I'd like to be able to do the same for the binutils bits. And
perhaps Tristan will want to do the same for his releases too
(not sure, binutils builders might be a little savvier than GDB
builders).
This patch introduces a new file, called development.sh, which
just sets a variable called $development. In our development branches
(Eg. "master"), it's set to true. But setting it to false would allow
us to change the default behavior of various development-related
features to be turned off; in this case, it turns off the use of
-Werror by default (use --enable-werror to turn it back on).

Tested on x86_64-linux by building two ways: One with DEVELOPMENT
set to true, and one with DEVELOPMENT set to false. In the first
case, I could see the use of -Werror, while it disappeared in
the second case.
Power8 fuses addis,addi and addis,ld sequences when the target of the
addis is the same as the addi/ld. Thus
addis r12,r2,xxx@ha
addi r12,r12,xxx@l / ld r12,xxx@l(r12)
is faster than
addis r11,r2,xxx@ha
addi r12,r11,xxx@l / ld r12,xxx@l(r11)
So use the form that allows fusion in plt call and branch stubs.

1) _SDA_BASE_ and _SDA2_BASE_ and defined automatically, in a similar
manner to the way _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is handled. It's a little
more complicated to remove the symbols because _SDA_BASE_ needs to
be there if either .sdata or .sbss is present, and similarly for
_SDA2_BASE.
2) The linker created .sdata and .sdata2 sections used for
R_PPC_EMB_SDAI16 and R_PPC_EMB_SDA2I16 pointers are created early.
Nowadays we strip unneeded sections from the output, so it isn't
necessary to delay creating the sections.
3) The output section for targets of various SDA relocs is now checked
as per the ABI(s). We previously allowed .sdata.foo and similar,
most likely because at some stage we were checking input sections.
Also, the patch fixes a long-standing bug in size_input_sections
that affects the values of symbols defined in stripped input
sections.

The AArch64 TLSDESC to IE relaxation code uses a bit mask intended to
ensure that destination register in a relaxed ldr instruction is
always X0. The mask has an off by one error resulting in the most
significant bit of the destination register being retained in the
relaxed instruction. The issue generally appears when the compiler
emits TLS accesses code under high register pressure resulting in a
broken code sequence.
I got the ppc476 workaround wrong. bctr (and bctrl) as the last
instruction in a page can hit the icache bug if the preceding mtctr
insn is close by, and the destination is in the first few instructions
on the next page. This scenario can occur with code generated by gcc
to implement switch statements, or in code generated to call by
function pointer.
To prevent the bctr problem it is also necessary to remove other
instructions that otherwise would be safe.

The linker script documentation does not mention the optional comma
that may follow an output section command or an overlay command.
In some cases, where a fill expression is used, and the next
output section command begins with an operator (e.g., "/DISCARD/"),
the comma may be required to separate the two commands.
Currently, GNU ld doesn't require the comma, but gold does.

ELFv2 needs to create plt entries in a non-PIC executable for an
address reference to a function defined in a shared object. It's
possible that an object file has no features that distinguish it as
ELFv1 or ELFv2, eg. an object only containing data. Such files need
to be handled like those that are known to be ELFv2.
However, this unnecessarily creates plt entries for the analogous
ELFv1 case, so arrange to set output abi version earlier, and use the
output abi version to further distinguish ambiguous input files.

The current code subtracts the size of the output section containing
relplt from RELASZ. In some cases this will be the same output
section as the dynamic relocs causing a value of zero to be output.
