[PATCH] --gc-sections and .gnu.linkonce.t.* sections

[Eric Botcazou]

Hi Alan,

This is the patch you pre-approved a few weeks ago, which teaches the linker 
to keep the .gcc_except_table.* sections in presence of the corresponding
.gnu.linkonce.t.* sections.  It's needed with GCC 4.3exp when COMDAT groups 
are not used.  Next I'll submit the GCC patch to detect the fixed linker. :-)

Tested on i586-suse-linux.  OK for mainline?  What about 2.17 branch?

Btw, now that there is an (experimental) FSF compiler with the support, do you 
want me to write a few testcases for the improved --gc-sections?  If so, in 
which directory should I put them?

	* elflink.c (bfd_elf_gc_sections): Also search for corresponding
	sections with .gnu.linkonce.t. prefix.
