Extend the assembler so that it can automatically generate GNU Build attribute notes if none are present in the input files.
gas * as.c (flag_generate_build_notes): New variable. (show_usage): Add entry for --generate-missing-build-notes. (parse_args): Parse --generate-missing-build-notes. * as.h: Export flag_generate_build_notes. * symbols.c (save_symbol_name): Ensure that the name parameter is not NULL. * write.c (create_obj_attrs_section): Reformat. (create_note_reloc): New function - creates a relocation for a field in a GNU Build attribute note. (maybe_generate_build_notes): New function - created GNU Build attribute notes if none are present in the output file. (write_object_file): Call maybe_generate_build_notes. * configure.ac (--enable-generate-build-notes): New option. * NEWS: Announce the new feature. * doc/as.textinfo: Document the new option. * config.in: Regenerate. * configure: Regenerate. binutils* readelf.c (is_32bit_abs_reloc): Support R_PARISC_DIR32 as a 32-bit absolute reloc for the HPPA target. * testsuite/binutils-all/note-5.d: New test. * testsuite/binutils-all/note-5.s: Source file for new test. * testsuite/binutils-all/objcopy.exp: Run new test.
