max-page-size only matters for demand paged executables or shared
libraries, and the ideal size is the largest value used by your
operating system. Values larger than necessary just waste file space
and memory. common-page-size also affects file and memory size,
trading a possible small increase in file size for a decrease in
memory size when the operating system is using a common-page-size
page. With a powerpc max-page-size of 64k and common-page-size of 4k
many executables will use no more memory pages when the system page
size is 4k than an executable linked with -z max-page-size=0x1000,
yet will still run on a system using 64k pages. However, when running
on a system using 64k pages relro protection will not be completely
effective.
Due to the relro problem, powerpc binutils has been using a default
common-page-size of 64k since 2014-12-18 (git commit 04c6a44c7),
leading to complaints about increased file and memory sizes. People
not using relro do have a valid reason to complain..
So this patch introduces an extra back-end value to use as the default
for common-page-size when generating relro executables, and enables
the support for powerpc. Non relro executables will now be generated
with a default common-page-size of 4k.

This patch deals with the generation of the import library on the fly.
The implementation is inefficient because the linker makes a lot of
calls to realloc and memmove when importing the symbols in order to
maintain a sorted list of symbols.
This is fixable by relying on the fact that, for every linked DLL,
the list of symbols it exports is already sorted so you can import
them en masse once you have found the insertion point.

This patch deals with the auto-import feature. There are 2 versions
of this feature: the original one, which was piggybacked on the OS
loader with an optional help from the runtime (--enable-auto-import
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v1) and is still the one mostly
documented in the sources and manual; the enhanced one by Kai Tietz,
which is entirely piggybacked on the runtime (--enable-auto-import
--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc-v2) and is the default for Mingw and
Cygwin nowadays.
The implementation is inefficient because of pe[p]_find_data_imports:
for every undefined symbol, the function walks the entire set of
relocations for all the input files and does a direct name comparison
for each of them.
This is easily fixable by using a hash-based map for v1 and a simple
hash table for v2. This patch leaves v1 alone and only changes v2.
It also factors out pe[p]_find_data_imports into a common function,
removes old cruft left and right, and attempts to better separate
the implementations of v1 and v2 in the code.

Those relocations includes both ip64 and ilp32 variant.
This is a regression for the corner case of a hidden symbol in a PIC/PIE
binary which is subject to both a new-style GOTDATA relocation and an
old-style GOT relocation. In this case, depending on the link order,
the R_SPARC_RELATIVE dynamic relocation for the GOT slot needed because
of the old-style relocation can be replaced with R_SPARC_NONE coming
from the GOTDATA relocation.
The fix simply records whether an old-style GOT relocation is seen for a
symbol and prevents the R_SPARC_NONE from being generated in this case.

Currently, when `mips_elf_calculate_relocation' is asked to relocate an
undefined symbol, it reports an error or a warning and immediately
returns without performing the relocation. This is fine if the link
fails, but if unresolved_syms_in_objects == RM_GENERATE_WARNING, the
link will continue and output some unrelocated code, which is a

Most of the emultempl/*.em error/warning messages do not currently
appear in ld.pot, and fixing that is not simply a matter of adding
missing files to POTFILES. The difficulty is the shell-script
quoting, for example aarch64elf.em:PARSE_AND_LIST_OPTIONS "Don'\''t".
I suppose you could avoid contractions like "don't" but I'm unsure as
to whether gettext could handle everything in the emulparams scripts.
The right thing to do is feed the generated C files to gettext, as
this patch does. The patch just copies what is already done in bfd/
for generated files.

More standarization of error/warning messages. The ARM backend has
some multi-line error messages, which don't fit particularly well with
the GNU coding standard insistence that error messages shouldn't be
capitalized or have a full-stop. I've replaced the line breaks with
semicolons.
So for instance the following
system/path/to/ld: myobject.o: invalid special symbol `foo'.
system/path/to/ld: It must be a global or weak function symbol.
becomes
system/path/to/ld: myobject.o: invalid special symbol `foo'; it must be a global or weak function symbol

The GNU coding standard says error messages should be of the form
program:sourcefile:lineno: message
or
program: message
and
"The string message should not begin with a capital letter when it
follows a program name and/or file name, because that isn’t the
beginning of a sentence. (The sentence conceptually starts at the
beginning of the line.) Also, it should not end with a period."
This patch does that for ppc, and removes some British spelling.
I've also switched some error output from using the linker callback
einfo to _bfd_error_handler, due to improved compilation time
argument checking now done for the latter function.
