Fix copying Solaris binaries with objcopy.
PR target/19938 bfd * elf-bbfd.h (struct elf_backend_data): New field: elf_strtab_flags. New field: elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link * elfxx-target.h (elf_backend_strtab_flags): Define if not already defined. (elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link): Define if not already defined. (elfNN_bed): Use elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link and elf_backend_strtab_flags macros to initialise fields in structure. * elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Check for SHF_STRINGS being set even if SHF_MERGE is not set. (elf_fake_sections): Likewise. (section_match): New function. Matches two ELF sections based upon fixed characteristics. (find_link): New function. Locates a section in a BFD that matches a section in a different BFD. (_bfd_elf_copy_private_bfd_data): Copy the sh_info and sh_link fields of reserved sections. (bfd_elf_compute_section_file_positions): Set the flags for the .shstrtab section based upon the elf_strtab_flags field in the elf_backend_data structure. (swap_out_syms): Likewise for the .strtab section. * elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Set the flags for the .strtab section based upon the elf_strtab_flags field in the elf_backend_data structure. * elf32-i386.c (elf32_i386_set_special_info_link): New function. (elf_backend_strtab_flags): Set to SHF_STRINGS for Solaris targets. (elf_backend_set_special_section_info_and_link): Define for Solaris targets. * elf32-sparc.c: Likewise. * elf64-x86-64.c: Likewise. binutils* testsuite/binutils-all/i386/compressed-1b.d: Allow for the string sections possibly having the SHF_STRINGS flag bit set. * testsuite/binutils-all/i386/compressed-1c.d: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.s: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/readelf.s-64: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/x86-64/compressed-1b.d: Likewise. * testsuite/binutils-all/x86-64/compressed-1c.d: Likewise. gas * testsuite/gas/i386/ilp32/x86-64-unwind.d: Allow for the string sections possibly having the SHF_STRINGS flag bit set. * testsuite/gas/i386/x86-64-unwind.d: Likewise.
