This patch stop --gc-sections elf_gc_sweep_symbol localizing symbols
that ought to remain global.
The difficulty with always descending into output section statements
is that symbols defined by the script in such statements don't have
a bfd section when lang_do_assignments runs early in the link process.
There are two approaches to curing this problem. Either we can
create the bfd section early, or we can use a special section. This
patch takes the latter approach and uses bfd_und_section. (Creating
bfd sections early results in changed output section order, and thus
lots of testsuite failures. You can't create all output sections
early to ensure proper ordering as KEEP then stops empty sections
from being stripped.)
The wrinkle with this approach is that some code that runs at
gc-sections time needs to be made aware of the odd defined symbols
using bfd_und_section.

This patch extends Tag_GNU_Power_ABI_FP to cover long double ABIs,
makes the assembler warn about undefined tag values, and removes
similar warnings from the linker. I think it is better to not
warn in the linker about undefined tag values as future extensions to
the tags then won't result in likely bogus warnings. This is
consistent with the fact that an older linker won't warn on an
entirely new tag.

The code compiled with the -fpic model in SPARC uses 13-bit signed
immediate PC-relative loads to fetch entries from the GOT table. In
theory this would allow using a GOT table (.got section) containing up
to 1024 entries in elf32 or 512 entries in elf64.
However, in elf64 sparc GNU targets _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is always
placed at the beginning of the .got section, making it impossible to use
negative offsets. This limits the usage of -fpic to GOT tables
containing a maximum of 257 entries in elf64.
This patch activates an optimization that is already used in sparc-elf32
also in sparc-elf64, that sets _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ to point 0x1000
into the .got section if the section size is bigger than 0x1000.
