PR25585, PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment
I closed this bug as invalid, but I think it is worth mentioning in NEWS that older linkers didn't check PT_PHDR very well. The patch also allows people to force an output file with --noinhibit-exec after the error. bfd/ PR 25585 * elf.c (assign_file_positions_for_load_sections): Continue linking on "PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment" errors. ld/ PR 25585 * NEWS: Mention better "PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment" checking.

Changes in 2.34:
+* The ld check for "PHDR segment not covered by LOAD segment" is more
+ effective, catching cases that were wrongly allowed by previous versions of
+ ld. If you see this error it is likely you are linking with a bad linker
+ script or the binary you are building is not intended to be loaded by a
+ dynamic loader. In the latter case --no-dynamic-linker is appropriate.
+
* cr16c support removed.
* Add support for z80-elf.
