* ld.texinfo: Document new --exclude-modules-for-implib option.
* pe-dll.c (exclude_list_struct): Change type member from int to
new enumeration exclude_type.
(pe_dll_add_excludes): Accept exclude_type instead of int param.
(auto_export): Replace magic constants by exclude_type values and
handle new choice EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB.
(pe_dll_generate_implib): Accept a pointer to the link_info and
iterate all input BFDs looking for EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB modules; re-open
fresh BFDs for any found and link into import lib archive chain.
* pe-dll.h (exclude_type): Add new enumerated type to replace magic
constants previously used for exclude_list_struct type member.
(pe_dll_add_excludes, pe_dll_generate_implib): Update prototypes.
* pep-dll.h (exclude_type, pe_dll_add_excludes,
pe_dll_generate_implib): Likewise to all the above.
* emultempl/pe.em (OPTION_EXCLUDE_MODULES_FOR_IMPLIB): Define new
getopts long option code for new --exclude-modules-for-implib option.
(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_add_options): Add new entry to xtra_long[].
(gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_list_options): List usage for it.
(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Use exclude_type enumerated
values when calling pe_dll_add_excludes, and handle EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB.
(gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_finish): Pass pointer to link_info when
calling pe_dll_generate_implib.
* emultempl/pep.em (options): Define new enumerated value for getopts
long option code for new --exclude-modules-for-implib option.
(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_add_options, gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_list_options,
gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option, gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_finish):
Again, likewise to all the above.

README for LD
This is the GNU linker. It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils. See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.
There are many features of the linker:
* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
that it uses to read and write object files. This helps
insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.
* The linker supports a number of different object file
formats. It can even handle multiple formats at once:
Read two input formats and write a third.
* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.
* The linker supports a control language.
* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).
Installation
============
See ../binutils/README.
If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.
To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).
Porting to a new target
=======================
See the ldint.texinfo manual.
Reporting bugs etc
===========================
See ../binutils/README.
Known problems
==============
The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable. The GNU linker does not do this by default. This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets). This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl. You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.
HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly. The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages. There are various
workarounds to this:
* Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
* Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
* Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
