Hi Neal --
It would be better if the patch were moved after the
bfd_link_hash_defined case and the (then redundant) test for
entry->type removed. Add a /* FALL THROUGH */ notation.
ldmain.c is generic code. There are no tests for any other
architecture. I'm reluctant to add target-dependent tests in generic
code. Perhaps one of the linker maintainers can comment on this.
If this additional diagnostic information is useful for MicroBlaze,
perhaps it would be useful for all other architectures (without the
MB-specific option, of course).
