+ Based on patch from H. Peter Anvin <hpa@transmeta.com>:
+ * objcopy.c (struct section_list): Add copy field.
+ (sections_copied): New static variable.
+ (copy_options): Add "only-section".
+ (copy_usage): Mention -j and --only-section.
+ (find_section_list): Initialize copy field.
+ (is_strip_section): Check for copying sections.
+ (copy_object): Check sections_copied when calling filter_symbols.
+ (setup_section): Check for copying sections.
+ (copy_section): Likewise.
+ (copy_main): Handle -j/--only-section.
+ * binutils.texi, objcopy.1: Document -j/--only-section.
+
* configure.in: If frexp is not available, check in -lm.
* configure: Rebuild.
