Alan Modra 7cf7fcc83c PR22458, failure to choose a matching ELF target
https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2013-05/msg00271.html was supposed
to banish "file format is ambiguous" errors for ELF.  It didn't,
because the code supposedly detecting formats that implement
match_priority didn't work.  That was due to not placing all matching
targets into the vector of matching targets.  ELF objects should all
match the generic ELF target (priority 2), plus one or more machine
specific targets (priority 1), and perhaps a single machine specific
target with OS/ABI set (priority 0, best match).  So the armel object
in the testcase actually matches elf32-littlearm,
elf32-littlearm-symbian, and elf32-littlearm-vxworks (all priority 1),
and elf32-little (priority 2).  As the PR reported, elf32-little
wasn't seen as matching.  Fixing that part of the problem wasn't too
difficult but matching the generic ELF target as well as the ARM ELF
targets resulted in ARM testsuite failures.

These proved to be the annoying reordering of stubs that occurs from
time to time due to the stub names containing the section id.
Matching another target causes more sections to be created in
elf_object_p.  If section ids change, stub names change, which results
in different hashing and can therefore result in different hash table
traversal and stub creation order.  That particular problem is fixed
by resetting section_id to the initial state before attempting each
target match, and taking a snapshot of its value after a successful
match.

	PR 22458
	* format.c (struct bfd_preserve): Add section_id.
	(bfd_preserve_save, bfd_preserve_restore): Save and restore
	_bfd_section_id.
	(bfd_reinit): Set _bfd_section_id.
	(bfd_check_format_matches): Put all matches of any priority into
	matching_vector.  Save initial section id and start each attempted
	match at that section id.
	* libbfd-in.h (_bfd_section_id): Declare.
	* section.c (_bfd_section_id): Rename from section_id and make
	global.  Adjust uses.
	(bfd_get_next_section_id): Delete.
	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_setup_section_lists): Replace use of
	bfd_get_section_id with _bfd_section_id.
	* libbfd.h: Regenerate.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
