Jens Remus 007661568b ld: bfd: sframe: Update section size also for relocatable links
For relocatable links the output .sframe section size may be wrong.
This can be observed when dumping the SFrame information from the x86-64
sframe-reloc-1 test:

Name              Address          Off    Size
.sframe           0000000000000000 000110 00007f

When running the x86-64 test cross build on a big-endian system, such
as s390x, objdump and readelf fail to dump the SFrame information with
the following error message:

Error: SFrame decode failure: Buffer does not contain SFrame data.

This is because the following check in flip_sframe() fails, which gets
only invoked if the endianness of the SFrame data is different from the
host system one:

/* All FDEs and FREs must have been endian flipped by now.  */
if ((j != ihp->sfh_num_fres) || (bytes_flipped != (buf_size - hdrsz)))
                                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

With:
j=8, ihp->sfh_num_fres=8, bytes_flipped=70, buf_size=127, hdrsz=28

While at it, remove the incorrect code comment.  There is no
relationship between "do not update size" and the fact that the
"contents have not been relocated".

		   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.
