Apparently some distros have a nagging egrep that helpfully tells you
egrep is deprecated and to use "grep -E". The nag message causes a ld
testsuite failure. What's more the advice isn't that good. The "-E"
flag may not be available with older versions of grep.

Clang generates a warning if there is a variable that is set but not used
otherwise ("-Wunused-but-set-variable"). On the default configuration, it
causes a build failure (unless "--disable-werror" is specified).
Because the cause of this error is in the Bison-generated code
($(srcdir)/gold/yyscript.y -> $(builddir)/gold/yyscript.c),
this commit suppresses this warning ("-Wunused-but-set-variable") by placing
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_BUT_SET_VARIABLE macro at the end of user
prologue on yyscript.y.

Some components of GNU Binutils will pass "-Wstack-usage=262144" when
"GCC >= 5.0" is detected. However, Clang does not support "-Wstack-usage",
despite that related configuration part in bfd/warning.m4 handles the latest
Clang (15.0.0 as of this writing) as "GCC >= 5.0".
The option "-Wstack-usage" was ignored when the first version of Clang is
released but even this "ignoring" behavior is removed before Clang 4.0.0.
So, if we give Clang "-Wstack-usage=262144", it generates a warning, making
the build failure.
This commit checks "__clang__" macro to prevent adding the option if the
compiler is identified as Clang.

Prior to the inline plt call support (commit 08be322439), the only
local syms with plt entries were local ifunc symbols. There shouldn't
be stubs for other local symbols so don't look for them. The patch

only for ppc64 and a couple only for ppc32.

The fixes gold failures to handle inline PLT sequences properly.
PowerPC gold was always turning these back into direct calls due to
gsym->use_plt_offset() returning false. This is fixed for dynamic
linking by correcting get_reference_flags, and for static linking by
overriding use_plt_offset() in relocate(). The rest of the patch
revolves around needing to create PLT entries for inline PLT calls
when statically linking (for gcc -mlongcall). The lplt section
handled that for local symbols, now it does globals too.

My previous PR27625 patch had a problem or two. For one, the error
"__tls_get_addr call lacks marker reloc" on processing some calls
before hitting a call without markers typically isn't seen. Instead a
gold assertion fails. Either way it would be a hard error, which
triggers on a file contained in libphobos.a when running the gcc
testsuite. A warning isn't even appropriate since the call involved
is one built by hand without any of the arg setup relocations that
might result in linker optimisation.
So this patch reverts most of commit 0af4fcc25d, instead entirely
ignoring the problem of mis-optimising old-style __tls_get_addr calls
without marker relocs. We can't handle them gracefully without
another pass over relocations before decisions are made about GOT
entries in Scan::global or Scan::local. That seems too costly, just
to link object files from 2009. What's more, there doesn't seem to be
any way to allow the libphobos explicit __tls_get_addr call, but not
old TLS sequences without marker relocs. Examining instructions
before the __tls_get_addr call is out of the question: program flow
might reach the call via a branch. Putting an R_PPC64_TLSGD marker
with zero sym on the call might be a solution, but current linkers
will then merrily optimise away the call!

This takes care of writing out GOT entries with addends. The local
symbol case was already largely handled, except for passing the addend
to tls_offset_for_local which might need the addend in a
local_got_offset call. That's needed also in tls_offset_for_global.

have addends, and in particular that a GOT entry referencing PLT call
stub code won't want an offset into the code.

Some Output_data_got methods already have support for addends, but
were implemented as separate methods. This removes unnecessary code
duplication.
Relobj::local_has_got_offset and others there get a similar treatment.
Comments are removed since it should be obvious without a comment, and
the existing comments are not precisely what the code does. For
example, a local_has_got_offset call without an addend does not return
whether the local symbol has *a* GOT offset of type GOT_TYPE, it
returns whether there is a GOT entry of type GOT_TYPE for the symbol
with addend of zero.

This patch removes the addend from Local_got_entry_key, which is
unnecessary now that Got_offset_list has an addend. Note that it
might be advantageous to keep the addend in Local_got_entry_key when
linking objects containing a large number of section_sym+addend@got
relocations. I opted to save some memory by removing the field but
left the class there in case we might need to restore {sym,addend}
lookup. That's also why this change is split out from the

As discussed previously, a.out support is now quite deprecated, and in
some cases removed, in both Binutils itself and NetBSD, so this legacy
default makes little sense. `netbsdelf*` and `netbsdaout*` still work
allowing the user to be explicit about there choice. Additionally, the
configure script warns about the change as Nick Clifton requested.
One possible concern was the status of NetBSD on NS32K, where only a.out
was supported. But per [1] NetBSD has removed support, and if it were to
come back, it would be with ELF. The binutils implementation is
therefore marked obsolete, per the instructions in the last message.
With that patch and this one applied, I have confirmed the following:
--target=i686-unknown-netbsd
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdelf
builds completely
--target=i686-unknown-netbsdaout
properly fails because target is deprecated.
--target=vax-unknown-netbsdaout builds completely except for gas, where
the target is deprecated.
