Maciej W. Rozycki fda46c417f PR ld/20828: Remove leading `_' from symbols used in tests 
Complement commit 81ff47b3a5 ("PR ld/20828: Fix linker script symbols
wrongly forced local with section GC") and remove the leading underscore
from `_fdata' and `_edata' symbols used in tests, fixing a:

FAIL: PR ld/20828 dynamic symbols with section GC (version script)

failure with targets such as: `bfin-elf', `bfin-uclinux', `metag-elf',
`metag-linux' `mn10300-elf', `sh-elf', `sh64-elf', and possibly other
ones, that have `_' set (with `elf_symbol_leading_char') as the leading
character for symbols.  As from commit 93252b1cf4 ("bfd/ld: handle ABI
prefixes in version scripts") these targets strip the leading underscore
before applying version script rules, because the (default) syntax for
symbol names is that of the C language rather than their low-level
symbol table encoding.

		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.
