Always create dynamic sections for -E/--dynamic-list
In embedded environments, including boot loaders, the non-PIC executable needs to export its symbols to modules loaded in the future. We should always create dynamic sections for -E/--dynamic-list. bfd/ PR ld/19617 * elflink.c (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Always create dynamic sections for -E/--dynamic-list. ld/ PR ld/19617 * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19617.s: New file. * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19617a.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19617b.d: Likewise. * testsuite/ld-elf/pr19617c.d: Likewise.
