[PATCH 0/7] Linker script sort/exclue handling

[Andrew Burgess]

This series of patches makes some improvements to how SORT_*
specifiers and EXCLUDE_FILE specifiers are handled in the linker
script grammar.  The aim was to try and make linker script parsing a
little stricter in this area, and also to remove some inconsistencies.

There's also a few related clean up patches, deleting unused code,
making variables static, and renaming some grammar rules (hopefully
for the better).

I've tested the series against 250 different targets, the only
new failures are on alpha64-dec-vms, alpha-dec-vms, mipsisa64sr71k-elf,
and sh-pe, but these targets all fail other similar tests and so
probably need some additional fixing outside the scope of this series.

All feedback welcome,

Thanks,
Andrew
