I did this for powerpc64 a while ago. Not moving weak symbol
dyn_relocs to the strong alias makes for a much simpler test for
dynamic relocs in relocate_section.
This patch implements the change for powerpc and hppa. Other targets
could benefit from similar changes.

(ppc_elf_relocate_section): Simplify test for dynamic relocs.
Now that u.alias is circular, weakref just duplicates its function.
Also, function symbols shouldn't be on the alias list so there is no
need to use alias_readonly_dynrelocs with them.
* elf64-ppc.c (struct ppc_link_hash_entry): Delete weakref field.
(ppc64_elf_copy_indirect_symbol): Don't set weakref.
(alias_readonly_dynrelocs): Use u.alias rather than weakref.
(ppc64_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Don't use

This makes the elf_link_hash_entry weakdef field, currently used to
point from a weak symbol to a strong alias, a circular list so that
all aliases can be found from any of them. A new flag, is_weakalias,
distinguishes the weak symbol from a strong alias, and is used in all
places where we currently test u.weakdef != NULL.
With the original u.weakdef handling it was possible to have two or
more weak symbols pointing via u.weakdef to a strong definition.
Obviously that situation can't map to a circular list; One or more of
the weak symbols must point at another weak alias rather than the
strong definition. To handle that, I've added an accessor function to
return the strong definition.

There is code in bfd/elf-eh-frame.c and ld/emultempl/elf32.em that
checks for the presence of eh_frame info by testing for a section
named .eh_frame sized more than 8 bytes. The size test is to exclude
a zero terminator. A similar check in elf64-ppc.c wrongly just tested
for non-zero size before creating the linker generated .eh_frame
describing plt call and other linkage stubs. The intention was to not
generate that info unless there was some user .eh_frame. (No user
.eh_frame implies the user doesn't care about exception handling.)

.eh_frame just on finding a zero .eh_frame terminator in crtend.o, but

The existing code allowed common and indirect symbols to pass an
assert, but then read root.u.def which is not valid for anything
besides defined and weakdef symbols. The garbage root.u.def.section

for indirect and common symbols, so we would always have left
u.weakdef NULL.

This patch was aimed at a FIXME in elf32-hppa.c, the ludicrous and
confusing fact that non_got_ref after adjust_dynamic_relocs in that
backend means precisely the inverse of what it means before
adjust_dynamic_relocs. Before, when non_got_ref is set it means there
are dynamic relocs, after, if non_got_ref is clear it means "keep
dynamic relocs" and later, "has dynamic relocs". There is a reason
why it was done that way.. Some symbols that may have dynamic
relocations pre-allocated in check_relocs turn out to not be dynamic,
and then are not seen by the backend adjust_dynamic_symbols. We want
those symbols to lose their dynamic relocs when non-pic, so it's handy
that non_got_ref means the opposite after adjust_dynamic_relocs. But
it's really confusing.
Most other targets, like ppc32, don't always set non_got_ref on
non-GOT references that have dynamic relocations. This is because the
primary purpose of non_got_ref before adjust_dynamic_relocs is to flag
symbols that might need to be copied to .dynbss, and there are
relocation types that may require dyn_relocs but clearly cannot have
symbols copied into .dynbss, for example, TLS relocations.
Why do we need a flag after adjust_dynamic_relocs to say "keep
dynamic relocations"? Well, you can discard most unwanted dyn_relocs
in the backend adjust_dynamic_relocs, and for those symbols that
aren't seen by the backend adjust_dynamic_relocs, in
allocate_dynrelocs based on a flag set by adjust_dynamic relocs,
dynamic_adjusted. That doesn't solve all our difficulties though.
relocate_section needs to know whether a symbol has dyn_relocs, and
many targets transfer dyn_relocs to a weakdef if the symbol has one.
The transfer means relocate_section can't test dyn_relocs itself and
the weakdef field has been overwritten by that time. So non_got_ref
is used to flag "this symbol has dynamic relocations" for
relocate_section.
Confused still? Well, let's hope the comments I've added help clarify
things.. The patch also fixes a case where we might wrongly emit
dynamic relocations in an executable for common and undefined symbols.

binutils has lacked proper pluralization of output messages for a long
time, for example, readelf will display information about a section
that "contains 1 entries" or "There are 1 section headers". Fixing
this properly requires us to use ngettext, because other languages
have different rules to English.
This patch defines macros for ngettext and friends to handle builds
with --disable-nls, and tidies the existing nls support. I've
redefined gettext rather than just defining "_" as dgettext in bfd and

This patch fixes various problems with TLS relocations.
1) Report an error if a symbol has both TLS and normal GOT entries.
2) The GOT entry size calculation was obscure and made use of the fact
that a symbol shouldn't have both normal and TLS GOT entries.
3) The second word of a GD GOT entry sometimes omitted a dynamic
reloc, which was fine except that doing so makes it impossible for
ld.so to differentiate GD and LD entries. Also, a NONE reloc was
emitted.

Correct code emitting relocs on GD/IE got entries. Report an

gcc -mfast-indirect-calls emits a function pointer initialization
without a P% (plabel) modifier. ld does not create the necessary
dynamic relocations for this to work. It turns out that the problem
is caused by the non_got_ref symbol flag. This flag is set for
non-pic by check_relocs to indicate that the symbol might need copy
relocations or dynamic relocations. Later, the backend
adjust_dynamic_symbol clears the flag to indicate dynamic relocations
are needed, but leaves it set when copy relocations were created. The
inversion in meaning is insane, but it's that way because the backend
adjust_dynamic_symbol function doesn't get to look at all symbols..
Anyway, the insanity works for non-function symbols. However, the
flag is left set on any function symbol with a dynamic relocation.
This patch fixes the non_got_ref handling for function symbols, adds
-z nocopyreloc for hppa-elf, reports where textrel occurs, and expands
comments. The check_relocs change just stops creation of dyn_relocs
we always threw away later.
