I noticed recently that .eh_frame FDEs generated by the linker for
call stubs and .glink weren't being indexed in .eh_frame_hdr, due to
bfd_elf_discard_info being run before the linker generated .eh_frame
sections were available for parsing. This patch moves code around in
elf64-ppc.c and ppc64elf.em to avoid that problem.
Another problem fixed here is that --gc-sections parses .eh_frame
early, and the existing machinery allows only one go at parsing the
.eh_frame sections. That resulted in the linker generated .eh_frame
CIEs not being merged and no .eh_frame_hdr index entries for those
FDEs. It turns out that all the info from parsing .eh_frame is
attached to the section, so order of parsing isn't important, and
after parsing sec_info_type being set will prevent a section being
parsed again. At least, when parsing doesn't hit an error. So there
isn't really any need for "parsed_eh_frame". "merge_cies" is also
redundant, which means _bfd_elf_{begin,end}_eh_frame_parsing can also
disappear.

BFD is an object file library. It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.
The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.
BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.
BFD supports the following configure options:
--target=TARGET
The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is
a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
--enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
Additional targets the library should support. To include
support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
--enable-64-bit-bfd
Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically
turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64
bit integer type, such as gcc.
--enable-shared
Build BFD as a shared library.
--with-mmap
Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts,
but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts.
Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.
Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not
send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other
systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.
Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
