1071 Finish: finish implementation of ld -r. At least some simple tests pass.
1075 Fix a number of errors in ELF_C_WRITE handling.
1077 Almost finished implementation of ld -r. The data sections are all copied.
1078 Handling of symbol tables is missing.
1082 Handle DSO and archive input files correctly if -r option is given.
1084 Gracefully deal with no phdr in new file in libelf.

1092 Fix some problems with recursive handling of archives in libelf.
1094 Improve messages printed by nm.
1096 Add symbol binding name handling to libebl. Fix section name handling in
1099 readelf and nm use more libebl functions.
1101 Handle XINDEX correctly in nm and string.
1103 Add first machine ld backend library (i386).
1104 Use it. Recognize -r and --shared. Avoid using -lxxx parameters for -r.
1105 Create ELF header in output file. Change mode of output file according to
1106 output file type. Reorganize callback initialization in ld.
1110 Fix some memory leaks in libelf.
1114 Implement reading version script. Both inside linker scripts and via the
1115 --version-script command line parameter. Uses the same code.
1116 What remains to be done is to implement a data structure which allows
1117 efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern
1120 Beginning of output generation and output writing functions.
1124 Finish implementation for DSO input file handling. Implement rpath, runpath,
1125 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling.
1129 make handling of e_shnum overflow in libelf standard conforming
1131 ld now actually can handle DSOs in linker scripts. Handling of DT_RUNPATH,
1132 DT_RPATH, -rpath, -rpath-link still remains to be implemented.
1134 fix handling of -L parameters. Make actual use of the default_paths element.
1136 make re-definition of symbols in and from DSO compatible with existing linker
1140 more work on assigning input sections to output sections.
1142 Add gelf_xlatetof and gelf_xlatetom which were accidently left out.
1144 Fix memory handling of section headers.
1148 Add many-section support to ld. Add various new command line parameters.
1149 Allow pagesize to be specified in linker script or on the command line.
1150 Collect input sections in list for the output section according to the rules
1151 specified in the linker script.
1155 Fix some problems in the internal list handling which had the result
1156 that we didn't look for some of the unresolved symbols.
1158 Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore.
1160 Optimize the list of unresolved symbols. Throw out symbols which are
1165 Got file reading correct now. The files are all read while parsing
1166 the parameters. No creating of data structures to describe the linker
1167 command line. The symbol table is built up while reading the files.
1168 DSOs are handled now. -( -) handling is optimized.
1172 Linker read linker scripts everywhere. Handles --whole-archive. Recognizes
1173 --dynamic and --static. Collects defined and undefined symbols. Recognizes
1176 libebl now defines functions to call the callbacks. Add generic name handling
1177 in these new functions. Remove the code from readelf and call the new
1182 Start of linker. Basic argument parsing, finding of input files,
1183 linker script reading.
1187 Implement dwarf_get_fde_n(), dwarf_get_abbrev(), dwarf_get_abbrev_tag(),
