The code in ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect (which is the ultimate place where you
end up if you use ctf_open to open a CTF file and pull in the ELF string
and symbol tables) was written before it was possible to actually test
it, since the linker was not written. Now it is, it turns out that the
previous code was completely nonfunctional: it assumed that you could
load the symbol table via bfd_section_from_elf_index (...,elf_onesymtab())
and the string table via bfd_section_from_elf_index on the sh_link.
Unfortunately BFD loads neither of these sections in the conventional
fashion it uses for most others: the symbol table is immediately
converted into internal form (which is useless for our purposes, since
we also have to work in the absence of BFD for readelf, etc) and the
string table is loaded specially via bfd_elf_get_str_section which is
private to bfd/elf.c.
So make this function public, export it in elf-bfd.h, and use it from
libctf, which does something similar to what bfd_elf_sym_name and
bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section do. Similarly, load the symbol table
manually using bfd_elf_get_elf_syms and throw away the internal form
it generates for us (we never use it).
BFD allocates the strtab for us via bfd_alloc, so we can leave BFD to
deallocate it: we allocate the symbol table ourselves before calling
bfd_elf_get_elf_syms, so we still have to free it.
Also change the rules around what you are allowed to provide: It is
useful to provide a string section but no symbol table, because CTF
sections can legitimately have no function info or data object sections
while relying on the ELF strtab for some of their strings. So allow
that combination.
v4: adjust to upstream changes. ctf_bfdopen_ctfsect's first parameter
is potentially unused again (if BFD is not in use for this link
due to not supporting an ELF target).
v5: fix tabdamage.

In check_relocs, bfd_link_pic true means ld is producing a shared
library or a position independent executable. !bfd_link_pic means a
fixed position (ie. static) executable since the relocatable linking
case is excluded. So it is appropriate to continue using bfd_link_pic
when testing whether non-pcrelative relocations should be dynamic, and
!bfd_link_pic for the special case of ifunc in static executables.
However, -Bsymbolic shouldn't affect PIEs (they are executables so
none of their symbols should be overridden) and PIEs can support copy
relocations, thus bfd_link_executable should be used in those cases
rather than bfd_link_pic.
I've also removed the test of ELIMINATE_COPY_RELOCS in check_relocs.
We can sort out what to do regarding copy relocs later, which allows
the code in check_relocs to be simplified.

This one exposed a bug in tic6x gas, found with inline function
parameter type checking. struct bfd_section and struct bfd_symbol

symbols.

This patch corrects the set of dynamic relocations recognised by gold
as supported by glibc, and teaches ld.bfd to report an error similar
to the gold error. Note that ld --noinhibit-exec can be used to
produce an output, supporting older ld with newer glibc if the set of
supported glibc dynamic relocations changes.

I get some spurious changes when running autoconf/automake for various
projects in the tree. This is likely because they were generated using
distro-patched tools last time.
I ran `autoreconf -f` in the various automake projects of the
binutils-gdb tree, and this is the result. The tools I am using have
been compiled from source, from the upstream release.

Some versions of clang apparently generate non-PIC on powerpc64le to
access common symbols. Since a common symbol and a strong definition
with the same name should resolve to the strong definition we have the
possibility of non-PIC attempting to access shared library variables.
This is really a clanger since powerpc64le is supposed to be PIC by
default, but let's see if ld can cope by generating .dynbss copies.
* elf64-ppc.c (must_be_dyn_reloc): Return 0 for TOC16 relocs.
