* NEWS: Mention new feature --exclude-modules-for-implib.
* ld.texinfo: Document new --exclude-modules-for-implib option. * pe-dll.c (exclude_list_struct): Change type member from int to new enumeration exclude_type. (pe_dll_add_excludes): Accept exclude_type instead of int param. (auto_export): Replace magic constants by exclude_type values and handle new choice EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB. (pe_dll_generate_implib): Accept a pointer to the link_info and iterate all input BFDs looking for EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB modules; re-open fresh BFDs for any found and link into import lib archive chain. * pe-dll.h (exclude_type): Add new enumerated type to replace magic constants previously used for exclude_list_struct type member. (pe_dll_add_excludes, pe_dll_generate_implib): Update prototypes. * pep-dll.h (exclude_type, pe_dll_add_excludes, pe_dll_generate_implib): Likewise to all the above. * emultempl/pe.em (OPTION_EXCLUDE_MODULES_FOR_IMPLIB): Define new getopts long option code for new --exclude-modules-for-implib option. (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_add_options): Add new entry to xtra_long[]. (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_list_options): List usage for it. (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Use exclude_type enumerated values when calling pe_dll_add_excludes, and handle EXCLUDEFORIMPLIB. (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_finish): Pass pointer to link_info when calling pe_dll_generate_implib. * emultempl/pep.em (options): Define new enumerated value for getopts long option code for new --exclude-modules-for-implib option. (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_add_options, gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_list_options, gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option, gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_finish): Again, likewise to all the above.
