Alan Modra f9853190c8 PR23611, objcopy is not removing executable relocatable sections ... BFD handles ELF relocation sections in an executable differently to relocation sections in a relocatable object. For a relocatable object, BFD carries the relocations as data associated with the section to which they apply; The relocation section doesn't appear as a separate section. For an executable, dynamic relocation sections do appear as separate sections. This means that objcopy needs to use different strategies when dealing with relocations. When --remove-relocations was added to objcopy with commit d3e5f6c8f1, objcopy lost the ability to remove dynamic relocation sections such as .rela.plt from executables using the option "--remove-section=.rela.plt". This patch reinstates that functionality. I thought it best to keep --remove-relocations as is, rather than extending to handle dynamic relocations as per the patch in the PR, because executables linked with --emit-relocs may have both dynamic and non-dynamic relocations. In that case --remove-relocataions=* is useful to remove all the non-dynamic relocations. PR binutils/23611 * objcopy.c (handle_remove_section_option): Consider .rela and .rel sections for stripping directly as well as attached to the associated section they relocate. * doc/binutils.texi (remove-relocations): Specify that this option removes non-dynamic relocation sections. * testsuite/binutils-all/objcopy.exp (objcopy_remove_relocations_from_executable): New test.		2018-09-10 13:46:37 +09:30
