Prevent the --keep-global-symbol and --globalize-symbol options from being used together.
This is the result of an email thread starting here: https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2018-09/msg00031.html The main point of the thread is this observation: * Supposing we had an object file with two globals, SomeGlobal and SomeOtherGlobal, if one were to do "--globalize-symbol SomeGlobal --keep-global-symbol SomeOtherGlobal", you might expect that both SomeGlobal and SomeOtherGlobal are global in the output file... but it isn't. Because --keep-global-symbol is set and doesn't include SomeGlobal, SomeGlobal will be demoted to a local symbol. And because the check to see if we should apply the --globalize-symbol flag checks "flags" (the original flag set), and not "sym->flags", it decides not to do anything, so SomeGlobal remains a local symbol. Although this is a weird edge case, should this be changed so that --keep-global-symbol implicitly keeps anything also specified via --globalize-symbol? (The code seems technically correct with respect to the documentation, but IMO the behavior is counter-intuitive). binutils* objcopy.c (copy_main): Issue a fata error if the --keep-global-symbol(s) and the --globalize-symbol(s) options are used together. * doc/binutils.texi: Document that the two options are incompatible. * testsuite/binutils-all/copy-5.d: New test. * testsuite/binutils-all/objcopy.exp: Run the new test.
