Enhance support for copying and stripping Solaris and ARM binaries.
PR 19938 bfd * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): Rename elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link to elf_backend_copy_special_section_fields. * elfxx-target.h: Likewise. * elf.c (section_match): Ignore the SHF_INFO_LINK flag when comparing section flags. (copy_special_section_fields): New function. (_bfd_elf_copy_private_bfd_data): Copy the EI_ABIVERSION field. Perform two scans over special sections. The first one looks for a direct mapping between the output section and an input section. The second scan looks for a possible match based upon section characteristics. * elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_copy_special_section_fields): New function. Handle setting the sh_link field of SHT_ARM_EXIDX sections. * elf32-i386.c (elf32_i386_set_special_info_link): Rename to elf32_i386_copy_solaris_special_section_fields. * elf32-sparc.c (elf32_sparc_set_special_section_info_link): Rename to elf32_sparc_copy_solaris_special_section_fields. * elf64-x86-64.c (elf64_x86_64_set_special_info_link): Rename to elf64_x86_64_copy_solaris_special_section_fields. binutils* readelf.c (get_solaris_segment_type): New function. (get_segment_type): Call it.
