+
+ Don't create unnecessary output sections.
+ * ldlang.c (out_bfd_get_section_by_name): Remove.
+ (wild_section): Call bfd_get_section_by_name rather than
+ our_bfd_get_section_by_name. Don't call wild_doit if there is no
+ section.
+ (lang_create_output_section_statements): Remove.
+ (map_input_to_output_sections): For several cases, call init_os if
+ it has not already been called.
+ (lang_size_sections): If output section was not created, skip it.
+ (lang_process): Don't call lan_create_output_section_statements.
+ (lang_place_orphans): Skip files with just_syms_flags set to true.
+ * ld.texinfo: Document change.
