- The archive command lists archives, symbols and any duplicate
symbols.
- Change the RTL shell commands to the rtems_printer to allow
the output to be captured.
- Add support for architecure sections that can be handled by the
architecture back end.
- Add trampoline/fixup support for PowerPC. This means the PowerPC
now supports large memory loading of applications.
- Add a bit allocator to manage small block based regions of memory.
- Add small data (sdata/sbss) support for the PowerPC. The support
makes the linker allocated small data region of memory a global
resource available to libdl loaded object files.

Updates #3685
- Add trampolines to support relocs that are out of range on
support architectures.
- Support not loading separate text/data sections in an object
file if the symbol provided in the section is a duplicate.
A base image may have pulled in part of an object and another
part needs to be dynamically loaded.
- Refactor the unresolved handling to scale to hundreds of
unresolved symbols when loading large number of files.
Updates #3685
- Load archive symbol tables to support searching of archives
for symbols.
- Search archive symbols and load the object file that contains
the symbol.
- Search the global and archives until all remaining unresolved symbols
are not found. Group the loaded object files in the pending queue.
- Run the object file and loaded dependents as a group before adding to the
main object list.
- Remove orphaned object files after references are removed.
