Alan Modra 7dba9362c1 Rewrite __start and __stop symbol handling
This arranges for __start and __stop symbols to be defined before
garbage collection, for all target formats.  That should allow the
COFF and PE --gc-sections to keep a singleton orphan input section,
a feature lost by 2017-06-13 commit cbd0eecf26.  The fancier ELF
treatment of keeping all input sections associated with a __start or
__stop symbol, from 2015-10-23 commit 1cce69b9dc, is retained.

.startof. and .sizeof. symbols are deliberately not defined before
garbage collection, so these won't affect garbage collection of
sections.

The patch also ensures __start, __stop, .startof. and .sizeof. symbols
are defined before target size_dynamic_sections is called, albeit
with a preliminary value, so that target code doesn't need to cope
with a symbol changing from undefined at size_dynamic_sections to
defined at relocate_section.

Also, a number of problems with the testcases have been fixed.

		   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.
