/* Add symbols from an ELF archive file to the linker hash table.  We
   don't use _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols because of a
   problem which arises on UnixWare.  The UnixWare libc.so is an
   archive which includes an entry libc.so.1 which defines a bunch of
   symbols.  The libc.so archive also includes a number of other
   object files, which also define symbols, some of which are the same
   as those defined in libc.so.1.  Correct linking requires that we
   consider each object file in turn, and include it if it defines any
   symbols we need.  _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols does not do
   this; it looks through the list of undefined symbols, and includes
   any object file which defines them.  When this algorithm is used on
   UnixWare, it winds up pulling in libc.so.1 early and defining a
   bunch of symbols.  This means that some of the other objects in the
   archive are not included in the link, which is incorrect since they
   precede libc.so.1 in the archive.

   Fortunately, ELF archive handling is simpler than that done by
   _bfd_generic_link_add_archive_symbols, which has to allow for a.out
   oddities.  In ELF, if we find a symbol in the archive map, and the
   symbol is currently undefined, we know that we must pull in that
   object file.

   table until nothing further is resolved.  */

  /* NEWDYNCOMMON and OLDDYNCOMMON indicate whether the new or old
     symbol, respectively, appears to be a common symbol in a dynamic
     object.  If a symbol appears in an uninitialized section, and is
     not weak, and is not a function, then it may be a common symbol
     which was resolved when the dynamic object was created.  We want
     to treat such symbols specially, because they raise special
     considerations when setting the symbol size: if the symbol
     appears as a common symbol in a regular object, and the size in
     the regular object is larger, we must make sure that we use the
     larger size.  This problematic case can always be avoided in C,
     but it must be handled correctly when using Fortran shared
     libraries.

     Note that if NEWDYNCOMMON is set, NEWDEF will be set, and
     likewise for OLDDYNCOMMON and OLDDEF.

     Note that this test is just a heuristic, and that it is quite
     possible to have an uninitialized symbol in a shared object which
     is really a definition, rather than a common symbol.  This could
     lead to some minor confusion when the symbol really is a common
     symbol in some regular object.  However, I think it will be
     harmless.  */

                         NAME in the shared object to become
                         references to SHORTNAME in the regular
                         object.  This is what we expect when we
                         override a function in a shared object: that
                         the references in the shared object will be

     Note that there is a confusing case here.  If the real definition

     library model.

     I will clarify this issue.  Most SVR4 shared libraries define the
     variable _timezone and define timezone as a weak synonym.  The
     tzset call changes _timezone.  If you write
       extern int timezone;
       int _timezone = 5;
       int main () { tzset (); printf ("%d %d\n", timezone, _timezone); }
     you might expect that, since timezone is a synonym for _timezone,
     the same number will print both times.  However, if the processor
     backend uses a COPY reloc, then actually timezone will be copied
     into your process image, and, since you define _timezone
     yourself, _timezone will not.  Thus timezone and _timezone will
     wind up at different memory locations.  The tzset call will set
     _timezone, leaving timezone unchanged.  */
