PR ld/20815
bfd * elf.c (elf_modify_segment_map): Allow empty LOAD segments if
they contain the program headers.
(_bfd_elf_map_sections_to_segments): If the linker created the
PHDR segment then always attempt to include it in a LOAD segment.
(assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Allow LOAD segments
to overlap PHDR segments.
(phdr_sorter): New function. Sorts program headers.
(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): Sort the program headers
before writing them out. Issue an error if the PHDR segment is
not covered by a LOAD segment, unless the backend allows it.
* elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): Add
elf_backend_allow_non_load_phdr.
* elfxx-target.h (elf_backend_allow_non_load_phdr): Provide
default definition that returns FALSE.
(elfNN_bed): Initialise the elf_backend_allow_non_load_phdr
field.
* elf64-hppa.c (elf64_hppa_allow_non_load_phdr): New function.
Returns TRUE.
(elf_backend_allow_non_load_phdr): Define.
* elf-m10300.c (_bfd_mn10300_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Do not
place the interpreter string into the .interp section if the
nointerp flag is set in the link info structure.
* elf32-arc.c (elf_arc_size_dynamic_sections): Likewise.
* elf32-score7.c (score_elf_final_link_relocate): Allow for the
_gp symbol not being part of the output.
binutils* readelf.c (process_program_headers): Check PT_LOAD and PT_PHDR
segments for validity.

Rather than hacking every backend to not discard dynamic relocations
against an undefined hidden __ehdr_start, make it appear to be defined
early. We want __ehdr_start hidden before size_dynamic_sections so
that it isn't put in .dynsym, but we do need the dynamic relocations
for a PIE or shared library with a non-PIC reference. Defining it
early is wrong if we don't actually define the symbol later to its
proper value. (In some cases we want to leave the symbol undefined,
for example, when the ELF header isn't loaded, and we don't have this
infomation available in before_allocation.)
ld/
* emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_before_allocation): Define
__ehdr_start before size_dynamic_sections and restore afterwards.

Don't use bfd_elf_record_link_assignment to mark __ehdr_start
hidden. Instead, just do it directly here, and only if it was
referenced but not defined.
