bfd/

	* elflink.c (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Don't set up merge
	section data here..
	* elf.c (_bfd_elf_merge_sections): .. Do it here instead.
	* merge.c: Formatting.  Remove unnecessary casts.  Expand
	bfd_get_section_alignment macro.
	(struct sec_merge_sec_info): Rename "first" to "first_str".  Update
	use throughout file.
	(_bfd_add_merge_section): Rename from _bfd_merge_section.  Update
	comment.  Abort on dynamic or non-SEC_MERGE input.  Don't test
	section name to determine sinfo group, instead test output section
	and alignment.
	(_bfd_merge_sections): Add struct bfd_link_info param.  Call
	_bfd_strip_section_from_output rather than just twiddling flags.
	* libbfd-in.h (_bfd_add_merge_section): Rename, update comment.
	(_bfd_merge_sections): Update prototype.
	* libbfd.h: Regenerate.
ld/
	* ldlang.c (lang_process): Call bfd_merge_sections later, and
	only when not a relocatable link.
	(print_input_section): Handle SEC_EXCLUDE sections.
	(size_input_section): Don't update dot on SEC_EXCLUDE sections.
	(lang_do_assignments_1): Likewise.
	* ldwrite.c (build_link_order): Ignore SEC_EXCLUDE input sections.
	* emultempl/armelf.em (arm_elf_set_bfd_for_interworking): Likewise.
	* emultempl/hppaelf.em (build_section_lists): Likewise.
	* emultempl/ppc64elf.em (build_toc_list): Likewise.
	(build_section_lists): Likewise.
