Subject: 	* ld.h (args_type): Add field rpath.
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a1ad915dc4e83aa4cc29c01db7b99a916479f909;p=binutils-gdb.git

	* ld.h (args_type): Add field rpath.
	* lexsup.c (S_ISDIR): Define if not already defined.
	(parse_args): Add support for -rpath.  If -R is used to name a
	directory, treat it as -rpath for Solaris compatibility.
	* emultempl/elf32.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_before_allocation):
	Pass command_line.rpath to bfd_elf32_size_dynamic_sections.
	* ldmain.c (main): Initialize command_line.rpath to NULL.
	* ld.texinfo: Document -rpath option.

+The @var{archives} should be a list of archive files.  They may be
+either explicit file names, or @samp{-l} options.
+
+The specified archives are searched repeatedly until no new undefined
+references are created.  Normally, an archive is searched only once in
+the order that it is specified on the command line.  If a symbol in that
+archive is needed to resolve an undefined symbol referred to by an
+object in an archive that appears later on the command line, the linker
+would not be able to resolve that reference.  By grouping the archives,
+they all be searched repeatedly until all possible references are
+resolved.
+
+Using this option has a significant performance cost.  It is best to use
+it only when there are unavoidable circular references between two or
+more archives.
