/* 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.  */

     possible to have an uninitialized symbol in a shared object which
     is really a definition, rather than a common symbol.  This could

                         the references in the shared object will be

     Note that there is a confusing case here.  If the real definition
     is defined by a regular object file, we don't get the real symbol
     from the dynamic object, but we do get the weak symbol.  If the
     processor backend uses a COPY reloc, then if some routine in the

     change in the corresponding weak symbol.  This is the way other
     ELF linkers work as well, and seems to be a result of the shared
     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.  */

     Unfortunately, there is no way to know the total number of local

     indices precede the global symbol indices.  This means that when

     a global symbol, we can not know the symbol index until we have
     finished examining all the local symbols to see which ones we are
     going to output.  To deal with this, we keep the relocations in
     memory, and don't output them until the end of the link.  This is
     an unfortunate waste of memory, but I don't see a good way around
     it.  Fortunately, it only happens when performing a relocateable
