* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Revert last change. Move

	type and size change code to where it was previously.  Remove
	dt_needed param.  Treat old weak syms as strong if new sym is
	from a shared lib, even when old sym is from another shared
	lib.  Remove unnecessary tests of oldweak and newweak.  Correct
	comments.
	(_bfd_elf_add_default_symbol): Remove dt_needed param.  Update
	_bfd_elf_merge_symbol calls.
	* elflink.h (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Update calls.  Remove
	dt_needed local var.  Update comments.
	* elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Update prototype.
	(_bfd_elf_add_default_symbol): Likewise.
