Maciej W. Rozycki c77cb2a09c MIPS: Make the IRIX naming of local section symbols consistent
Make the MIPS/IRIX naming of local section symbols consistent between
files produced by generic ELF code and ELF linker code, complementing
commit 174fd7f955 ("New bfd elf hook: force naming of local section
symbols"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-02/msg00072.html>.

Local section symbols have no names in the standard ELF gABI, however
the lack of a name causes problems with IRIX's MIPSpro linker.  To work
around the issue we give them names, however we do that in generic ELF
code only, based on what the `elf_backend_name_local_section_symbols'
hook returns if present.  That makes objects created by GAS or `objdump'
work correctly, however not ones created by `ld -r'.  That would not
normally cause issues with IRIX systems using GAS and `objdump' only
with the MIPSpro linker, however if GNU LD was used for whatever reason
in producing objects later fed to IRIX's MIPSpro linker, then things
would break.

Modify ELF linker code accordingly then, using the same hook.  Adjust
the `ld-elf/64ksec-r' test accordingly so that it also accepts a section
symbol with a name.

Also modify the hook itself so that only actual ET_REL objects have
names assigned to local section symbols.  Other kinds of ELF files are
not ever supposed to be relocated with the MIPSpro linker, so we can
afford producing more standard output.

Add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy' test cases to the relevant testsuites
to keep these tools consistently verified.  This change also fixes:

FAIL: objcopy executable (pr25662)

		   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.
