Multiple -M options can be specified in any order. Therefore stright
assignment to fields affected needs to be avoided, such that earlier

for -Msuffix followed by certain of the other sub-options.

The ELF header contains a start address, which is also sometimes
called the entry address. The 'objdump -x' output calls this field
the 'start address', while readelf calls it 'entry point address'.
The linker talks about setting the 'entry' point in its manual.
I've always thought of this field as the 'entry address', and so when
I recently wanted to know if objcopy could adjust this field I opened
up the manual and searched for 'entry', which found no hits.
I thought it would be useful (for people like me) if the description
of 'set-start' and 'adjust-start' in the objcopy manual mentioned the
word 'entry' to make it easier to find.

debuginfod is a lightweight web service that indexes ELF/DWARF
debugging resources by build-id and serves them over HTTP. This patch
enables objdump and readelf to query debuginfod servers when they are
otherwise not able to find separate debug files. Binutils can be built
with debuginfod using the --with-debuginfod configure option. This
requires that libdebuginfod be installed and found at configure time.
debuginfod is packaged with elfutils, starting with version 0.178. For
more information see https://sourceware.org/elfutils/.
