More standarization of error/warning messages. The ARM backend has
some multi-line error messages, which don't fit particularly well with
the GNU coding standard insistence that error messages shouldn't be
capitalized or have a full-stop. I've replaced the line breaks with
semicolons.
So for instance the following
system/path/to/ld: myobject.o: invalid special symbol `foo'.
system/path/to/ld: It must be a global or weak function symbol.
becomes
system/path/to/ld: myobject.o: invalid special symbol `foo'; it must be a global or weak function symbol

The GNU coding standard says error messages should be of the form
program:sourcefile:lineno: message
or
program: message
and
"The string message should not begin with a capital letter when it
follows a program name and/or file name, because that isn’t the
beginning of a sentence. (The sentence conceptually starts at the
beginning of the line.) Also, it should not end with a period."
This patch does that for ppc, and removes some British spelling.
I've also switched some error output from using the linker callback
einfo to _bfd_error_handler, due to improved compilation time
argument checking now done for the latter function.

* elfxx-mips.c (_bfd_mips_elf_final_link): Notify user when
.reginfo section has wrong size.
Use the SEC_FIXED_SIZE flag to actually fix the size of `.reginfo' and
`.MIPS.abiflags' sections in `_bfd_mips_elf_always_size_sections', as
originally intended, removing link failures such as:
ld: final link failed: Section has no contents
or:
ld: final link failed: Bad value
or:
ld: foo: .reginfo section size should be 24 bytes, actual size is 32
and assertion failures like:
ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.30.51.20180131 assertion fail .../bfd/elfxx-mips.c:14322
in link scenarios involving a linker script that either creates an
output `.reginfo' or `.MIPS.abiflags' section from scratch or produces
either section from different sections. If such an output section's
size turns out to be incorrect according to the psABI, then the section
is either truncated or padded out to the correct size, as relevant.
This allows people to handle these sections in a link in an unusual way,
while still addressing the issue covered by commit 58807c48a5
("_bfd_mips_elf_final_link: Notify user about wrong .reginfo size").
The original arrangement, coming from an unindentified change made to
what was called `mips_elf_always_size_sections' back then, between
commit 02650bd0a9 ("This adds ABI flags to MIPS/ELF object files.")
and commit 252b5132c7 ("19990502 sourceware import"), also missing
from BFD ChangeLog files, assumed that the output section size is not
going to change after return from `bfd_elf_size_dynamic_sections', the
caller of that function, called in turn from `ldemul_before_allocation'
via `gld${EMULATION_NAME}_before_allocation' in ld/emultempl/elf32.em,
and ultimately from `lang_process'. This is because later on in
`lang_process' processing `lang_size_sections' is called , happily
recalculating the section size, and it has actually already been the
case at the time of commit 252b5132c7 ("19990502 sourceware import"),
so the assumption was clearly incorrect right from the beginning.

The fix for PR ld/22727 on SPARC passed TRUE as the 'create' argument
in the call to bfd_link_hash_lookup. It turns out this was a bad idea
because, if the symbol is created at this point, the link will abort
later in elf_link_output_extsym. This changes the TRUE into a FALSE
and puts an assertion on the result of the call, making it easier to
debug the issue; that's exactly in keeping with what Gold does.

To compile Linux kernel, this patch:
From: "H.J. Lu" <hjl.tools@gmail.com>
Subject: [PATCH] x86: Treat R_X86_64_PLT32 as R_X86_64_PC32
On i386, there are 2 types of PLTs, PIC and non-PIC. PIE and shared
objects must use PIC PLT. To use PIC PLT, you need to load
_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ into EBX first. There is no need for that on
x86-64 since x86-64 uses PC-relative PLT.
On x86-64, for 32-bit PC-relative branches, we can generate PLT32
relocation, instead of PC32 relocation, which can also be used as
a marker for 32-bit PC-relative branches. Linker can always reduce
PLT32 relocation to PC32 if function is defined locally. Local
functions should use PC32 relocation. As far as Linux kernel is
concerned, R_X86_64_PLT32 can be treated the same as R_X86_64_PC32
since Linux kernel doesn't use PLT.
