This patch, along with previous patches in the series, supports
putting the ELF file header and program headers in a PT_LOAD without
sections.
Logic governing whether headers a loaded has changed a little: The
primary reason to include headers is now the presence of
SIZEOF_HEADERS in a linker script. However, to support scripts that
may have reserved space for headers by hand, we continue to add
headers whenever the first section address is past the end of headers
modulo page size.
include/
* bfdlink.h (struct bfd_link_info): Add load_phdrs field.
bfd/
* elf-nacl.c (nacl_modify_segment_map): Cope with header PT_LOAD
lacking sections.
* elf.c (_bfd_elf_map_sections_to_segments): Assume file and
program headers are required when info->load_phdrs. Reorganize
code handling program headers. Generate a mapping without
sections just for file and program headers when -z separate-code
would indicate they should be on a different page to the first
section.

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_backend_allow_non_load_phdr.

default definition that returns FALSE.
