	Add TLS support for 64-bit Sparc ELF.
	*  elf64-sparc.c (sparc64_elf_dyn_relocs,
	sparc64_elf_link_hash_entry, sparc64_elf_obj_tdata): New structs.
	(GOT_UNKNOWN, GOT_NORMAL, GOT_TLD_GD, GOT_TLD_IE,
	sparc64_elf_hash_entry, sparc64_elf_tdata,
	sparc64_elf_local_got_tls_type): New defines.
	(sparc64_elf_mkobject): New function.
	(sparc64_elf_link_hash_table): Add members for dynamic linker
	sections PLT, RELPLT, DYNBSS, and RELBSS.  Add tls_ldm_got
	uion to track TLS GOT references.  Add sym_sec to cache
	mappings from local sym to section.
	(link_hash_newfunc): New function.
	(sparc64_elf_bfd_link_hash_table_create): Rename to
	sparc64_elf_link_hash_table_create for consistency.
	Pass link_hash_newfunc to _bfd_elf_link_hash_table_init.
	(sparc64_elf_create_dynamic_sections): Initialize new section
	members of sparc64_elf_link_hash_table.  Only init srelbss
	if not-shared.
	(sparc64_elf_copy_indirect_symbol, sparc64_elf_tls_transition):
	New functions.
	(SPARC_NOP): Define.
	(sparc64_elf_build_plt, sparc64_elf_plt_entry_offset,
	sparc64_elf_plt_ptr_offset): Delete.
	(sparc64_plt_entry_build): New function to build PLT entries
	gradually instread of all at once at the end of linking.
	(sparc64_elf_check_relocs): Delete dynobj, sgot, and srelgot
	local vars.  Get them from sparc64_elf_hash_table instead.
	Check early on if r_symndx is in bounds.  Handle TLS transitions.
	Account for TLS GOT references and DF_STATIC_TLS, as needed.
	For TLS relocs, record the tls_type in either
	sparc64_elf_local_got_tls_type or sparc64_elf_hash_entry as
	appropriate.  For R_SPARC_TLS_{GD,LDM}_CALL, emit a reference
	to the __tls_get_addr symbol.  For PLT relocs, track references
	via h->plt.refcount.  When R_SPARC_{PC10,PC22,PC_HH22,PC_HM10,
	PC_LM22} and h not-NULL, set h->non_got_ref.  For global data
	symbol references, count the number of relocations needed for
	that symbol.  For default switch case, don't error, this lets
	the TLS relocs not explicitly handled by this function get
	accepted.
	(sparc64_elf_gc_mark_hook, sparc64_gc_sweep_hook): New functions.
	(sparc64_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Remove dynobj local var, get
	it from sparc64_elf_hash_table.  Store the real PLT offset
	in h->plt.offset, and build PLT entries one at a time.  Also
	get .dynbss section pointer from htab.
	(allocate_dynrelocs, readonly_dynrelocs,
	sparc64_omit_section_dynsym): New functions.
	(sparc64_elf_omit_section_dynsym): Use these new functions as
	helpers.
	(dtpoff_base, tpoff): New functions.
	(sparc64_elf_relocate_section): Kill dynobj, sgot, and splt
	locals, get them from sparc64_elf_hash_table.  Handle TLS
	relocations and refcounting in main relocation loop.
	(sparc64_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol): Use
	sparc64_elf_link_hash_table.  Build PLT entries as we see
	them.  Handle TLS GOT relocations.
	(sparc64_elf_finish_dynamic_sections): Get sgot and dynobj
	from sparc64_elf_hash_table.  Initialize only PLT header
	not all entries since we not build PLT entries one by one.
	(elf_backend_copy_indirect_symbol, bfd_elf64_mkobject,
	elf_backend_gc_mark_hook, elf_backend_gc_sweep_hook,
	elf_backend_can_gc_sections, elf_backend_can_refcount): Define.
ld/testsuite/
	* ld-selective/sel-dump.exp: Do not exclude sparc64-*.
	* ld-selective/selective.exp: Likewise.
	* ld-sparc/sparc.exp: Add {32,64}-bit prefix to test
	names so we know which one is failing.  Run sparc64 TLS
	tests on multi-arch sparc platforms.
	* ld-sparc/tls64.sd, ld-sparc/tlssunbin64.dd,
	ld-sparc/tlssunbin64.rd, ld/testsuite/ld-sparc/tlssunbin64.sd,
	ld-sparc/tlssunbin64.td, ld-sparc/tlssunnopic64.dd,
	ld-sparc/tlssunnopic64.rd, ld-sparc/tlssunnopic64.sd,
	ld-sparc/tlssunpic64.dd, ld-sparc/tlssunpic64.rd,
	ld-sparc/tlssunpic64.sd, ld-sparc/tlssunpic64.td): Update now
	that sparc64 ELF does support TLS.

README

		README for LD

This is the GNU linker.  It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils.  See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.

There are many features of the linker:

* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
  that it uses to read and write object files.  This helps
  insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.

* The linker supports a number of different object file
  formats.  It can even handle multiple formats at once:
  Read two input formats and write a third.

* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.

* The linker supports a control language.

* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
  beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).

Installation
============

See ../binutils/README.

If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.

To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).

Porting to a new target
=======================

See the ldint.texinfo manual.

Reporting bugs etc
===========================

See ../binutils/README.

Known problems
==============

The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable.  The GNU linker does not do this by default.  This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets).  This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl.  You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.

HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly.  The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages.  There are various
workarounds to this:
  * Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
  * Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
  * Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
    genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
    emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
