PR24015, glibc-2.28 on little-endian mips32 broken
Commit 2bf2bf23da exposed a bug on targets that create common sections
other than the standard ELF SHN_COMMON. If these are output by ld -r,
then their type becomes SHT_PROGBITS unless the target handles them
specially (eg. by elf_backend_special_sections), and if they are
merged into .bss/.sbss by ld -r then that section becomes SHT_PROGBITS.
Worse, if they are output by ld -r, then their size is increased by
bfd_generic_define_common_symbol during final link, which leads to
bogus file contents being copied to output.
For mips, it seems to me that the .scommon section should not be
output for ld -r, but I haven't made that change in this patch.
PR 24015
* elf.c (bfd_elf_get_default_section_type): Make common sections
SHT_NOBITS.
* linker.c (bfd_generic_define_common_symbol): Clear
SEC_HAS_CONTENTS.
