Alan Modra 847d518374 Bogus "final link failed" messages
This patch is a result of noticing messages like the following:
tmpdir/tls32.o: in function `_start':
(.text+0x1c): unresolvable R_PPC_REL24 relocation against symbol `__tls_get_addr_opt'
./ld-new: final link failed: symbol needs debug section which does not exist

The "needs debug section" comes from attempting to use debug info to
find source line information to print the first error message.  That
error isn't of interest to the user, and any previous bfd_error value
which might be of interest is overwritten.  So save and restore
bfd_error around the fancy error reporting code.

That still doesn't leave us with a clean bfd_error.  Now we get
./ld-new: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output
An unresolvable relocation surely doesn't mean there is some bfd
section that ld doesn't know how to output!  Digging into that showed
a _bfd_elf_section_from_bfd_section failure attempting to find an elf
section correcsponding to ".interp".  So don't go looking for elf
sections on linker created bfd sections.

And then fix the linker testsuite which expected the bogus message..

bfd/
	* elflink.c (elf_fixup_link_order): Don't attempt to find
	an elf_section for linker created bfd sections.
ld/
	* ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Save and restore bfd_error around bfd
	function calls that might set it.
	* testsuite/ld-elf/indirect.exp: Don't expect "nonrepresentable
	section" message.

		   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.
