Subject: 	* elflink.h (elf_link_input_bfd): If we've discarded a section,
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ba4a45946c68e7982e8dc920c7f2bb6a7351497b;p=binutils-gdb.git

	* elflink.h (elf_link_input_bfd): If we've discarded a section,
	the output section will be the absolute section; don't print an
	assertion message for that case when doing a relocateable link.
PR 11647.
