Hello,

this patch set autoimport enabled for x64 targets by default.
Additionally it removes the option for pseudo-relocation-v1, as for
this target it would lead to an crash if using it.
The major issue (which could be possibly merged to pe.em too - if
autoimport enabled by default is wished - is the
gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_get_script function. At the moment it uses the
script, which moves rdata into data, which is caused by the v1
pseudo-relocation. As now for all targets v2 is default and v2 don't
need text/rdata to be marked as writable, this condition for
pei386_auto_import == 1 is just of interest when
pei386_runtime_pseudo_reloc != 2. By this pe.em could use also for x86
mingw the autoimport default enabling.

ChangeLog

? ? ? ?* pep.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_before_parse): Set auto-import
? ? ? ?default enabled.
? ? ? ?(gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_get_script): Check for rdata merge into data
? ? ? ?by pseudo-relocation-kind, too.
? ? ? ?(enum options): Remove OPTION_DLL_ENABLE_RUNTIME_PSEUDO_RELOC_V1.
? ? ? ?(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_add_options): Likewise.
? ? ? ?(gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Likewise.
? ? ? ?(pep_find_data_imports): Remove warning about back-door
? ? ? ?enable of auto-import.

Tested for x86_64-pc-mingw32. Ok for apply?

Regards,
Kai
