Alan Modra 3a3f4bf76a qsort: elf_link_add_object_symbols weak aliases
This particular sort almost certainly does not need to be stable for
the ELF linker to work correctly.  However it is conceivable that an
unstable sort could affect linker output, and thus different output be
seen with differing qsort implementations.  The argument goes like
this:  Given more than one strong alias symbol of equal section, value,
and size, the aliases will compare equal by elf_sort_symbol and thus
which one is chosen as the "real" symbol to be made dynamic depends on
qsort.  Why would anyone define two symbols at the same address?
Well, sometimes the fact that there are more than one strong alias
symbol is due to linker script symbols like __bss_start being made
dynamic.  This will match the first symbol defined in .bss if it
doesn't have correct size, and forgetting to properly set size and
type of symbols isn't as rare as it should be.

This patch adds some more heuristics to elf_sort_symbol.

	* elflink.c (elf_sort_symbol): Sort on type and name as well.
	(elf_link_add_object_symbols): Style fix.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
