qsort: elf_sort_sections use of target_index
elf_sort_sections tried to ensure a stable qsort by using target_index as the final comparison, but target_index hasn't been set by anything at the time elf_sort_sections was run. This patch arrange to have target_index set. * elf.c (_bfd_elf_map_sections_to_segments): Init target_index for sections about to be sorted. (assign_file_positions_for_load_sections): Likewise. (elf_sort_sections): Don't bother optimising both TOEND case. * elflink.c (bfd_elf_final_link): Reset target_index.
