Subject: Fix GDB crash caused by discarding grouped debug sections
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3c758495736df25d141a4ea13c7aba24f5bb9753;p=binutils-gdb.git

Fix GDB crash caused by discarding grouped debug sections

Keep a group containing just debug sections or the other special
sections we currently mark against garbage collection.

	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_gc_mark_debug_special_section_group): New
	function.
	(_bfd_elf_gc_mark_extra_sections): Use it.
