The object_p (and archive_p, core_file_p) functions are not supposed
to have any target specific malloc'd memory attached to the bfd on
their return. This should be obvious on a failure return, but it's
also true for a successful return. The reason is that even though the
object_p recognises the file, that particular target may not be used
and thus the bfd won't be closed calling close_and_cleanup for the
target that allocated the memory.
It turns out that the object_p bfd_target* return value isn't needed.
In all cases except ld/plugin.c the target is abfd->xvec and with
ld/plugin.c the target isn't used. So this patch returns a cleanup
function from object_p instead, called in bfd_check_format_matches to
tidy the bfd before trying a different target match. The only cleanup
that does anything at this stage is the alpha-vms one.

I was looking at elf_backend_section_flags as a means of setting
SEC_SMALL_DATA for .sdata, .sbss and the like, and condidered adding
an asection* parameter to access the section name easily before
realising that hdr->bfd_section of course makes the section
available. So no new parameter needed. In fact the flagword*
parameter isn't needed either, so out it goes.
The patch also tidies some horrible code in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook
that can change whether known ABI sections have sh_type and sh_flags
set up depending on which of the bfd_make_section functions is used.
(Some of those set section flags before _bfd_elf_new_section_hook is
called, others leave the flags zero.) The function also had some
hacks for .init_array and .fini_array to affect how
_bfd_elf_init_private_section_data behaved for those sections. It's
cleaner to do that in _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data. So that all
goes and we now init sh_type and sh_flags for all known ABI sections
in _bfd_elf_new_section_hook. _bfd_elf_init_private_section_data is
changed to suit, and now doesn't just single out SHT_INIT_ARRAY and
SHT_FINI_ARRAY but rather any of the special section types.
The _bfd_elf_new_section_hook change resulting in
+FAIL: ld-aarch64/erratum835769-843419
exposing some errors in the aarch64 backend. elfNN_aarch64_size_stubs

If you manage to put an xcoff object file into a non-xcoff archive

This patch delays setting up DT_NEEDED dynamic tags until all object
files and libraries have been opened and their symbols processed,
rather than adding the tags while processing symbols. Tags are
ordered according to the position of the associated library on the
command line and linker scripts. It is still possible with
--as-needed libs that are mentioned more than once for tags to be
ordered according to which mention was needed. For example with
"--as-needed a.so b.so c.so b.so" when b.so is not needed by a.so or
any other prior object file but is needed by c.so, the order of tags
will be "A C B".
