Hi Alan,
Your patch
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2007-10/msg00407.html
removed section name comparison in
bfd_elf_match_symbols_in_sections. When it is called from
match_group_member, it has to always check symbol tables
to compare 2 sections in section group, whose section
names are started with .gnu.linkonce. I'd like to put the
.gnu.linkonce. section name check back to avoid unnecessary
symbol table lookup.
Thanks.
H.J.
