The "Warning: Explicit stops are ignored in auto mode" results in
failures of a number of run_ld_link_tests because the compiler is run
using -S and then the resulting .s file assembled without suppplying
-x to gas. Fix that problem by adding -x to ASFLAGS for ia64, and
tweak the binutils link-order test since the source is used in a ld
test too.

* testsuite/config/default.exp: Set ASFLAGS to "-x" for ia64.

The --set-section-alignment option is what ought to be used on object
files; --section-alignment should be affecting PE binaries only, and
only the value stored in the header. Sections don't individually have
alignment recorded there; see 6f8f6017a0 ("PR27567, Linking PE files
adds alignment section flags to executables").
Undo the core part of 121a3f4b4f ("Update objcopy's
--section-alignment option so that it sets the alignment flag on..."),
which includes removing the testcase again, while leaving all secondary
changes in place. (Note that the testcase did fail anyway for
i?86-interix, with objdump saying "option -P/--private not supported by
this file".)
The new test wasn't being run, and failed due to relocations against
.gnu.build.attributes being stripped by default strip behaviour.
We probably should be keeping these relocations, but I haven't made
that change here.
BTW, the new test fails on ia64-hpux but that's just a repeat of the
existing note-5 fail.

Make the n64 ABI the default for 64-bit Linux targets specified with
`-gnuabi64' suffix included in the target triplet, for configurations
such as the Debian mips64el and mips64r6el ports. Adjust testsuite
configuration accordingly.
There are the following regressions with the new target triplet:
mips64-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: readelf -S bintest
mips64-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: MIPS reloc estimation 1
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: readelf -S bintest
mips64el-linux-gnuabi64 +FAIL: MIPS reloc estimation 1
The `readelf' issue comes from a difference in section headers produced
that the `binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.s-64' pattern template
does not match. While there has been a precedent it does not appear to
me that there is a clear advantage from adding more and more variations
to the template rather than forking the existing template into multiple
ones for a more exact match. So this is best deferred to a separate
discussion.
The MIPS reloc estimation issue is an actual bug in `objdump', which
discards a number of trailing entries from output here for n64 composed
relocations:
DYNAMIC RELOCATION RECORDS
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
0000000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
0000000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE *ABS*
and consequently `ld/testsuite/ld-mips-elf/reloc-estimate-1.d' does not
match even though ELF output produced is correct according to `readelf':
Relocation section '.rel.dyn' at offset 0x10400 contains 2 entries:
Offset Info Type Sym. Value Sym. Name
000000000000 000000000000 R_MIPS_NONE
Type2: R_MIPS_NONE
Type3: R_MIPS_NONE
000000010000 000300001203 R_MIPS_REL32 0000000000010010 foo@@V2
Type2: R_MIPS_64
Type3: R_MIPS_NONE
As a genuine bug this has to be handled separately.

You'd think "unresolved" would be correct for an objcopy test when the
assembler refuses to assemble one of our source files. After all, the
test of objcopy hasn't been run. However, "unresolved" results in

"unsupported", runtest returns success. Which is a little less
confusing to a user who doesn't see any errors reported unless they

Last patch didn't manage to xfail spu due to clear_xfail *-*-*elf*.
Clearing *-*-*elf* dates back to a time when we had rather a lot more
setup_xfail patterns, so limiting it to hppa*-*-*elf*. Also,
mips-*-irix ought to have been mips-*-irix* and I'm having second
thoughts about xfailing mips and hiding what looks like a problem: If
the mips target is supposed to emit names for local section symbols
and does so for objcopy, why isn't it doing the same for ld? Also,
lots more mips targets would be subject to this test failing. So I'm
backing out those xfails and leaving it to someone more knowledgeable
about mips.

xfails spu due to a note section getting a different vma, and some

This is the result of an email thread starting here:
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-09/msg00031.html
The main point of the thread is this observation:
* Supposing we had an object file with two globals, SomeGlobal and
SomeOtherGlobal, if one were to do "--globalize-symbol SomeGlobal
--keep-global-symbol SomeOtherGlobal", you might expect that both
SomeGlobal and SomeOtherGlobal are global in the output file... but it
isn't. Because --keep-global-symbol is set and doesn't include
SomeGlobal, SomeGlobal will be demoted to a local symbol. And because
the check to see if we should apply the --globalize-symbol flag checks
"flags" (the original flag set), and not "sym->flags", it decides not
to do anything, so SomeGlobal remains a local symbol. Although this is
a weird edge case, should this be changed so that --keep-global-symbol
implicitly keeps anything also specified via --globalize-symbol? (The
code seems technically correct with respect to the documentation, but
IMO the behavior is counter-intuitive).

--keep-global-symbol(s) and the --globalize-symbol(s) options are
