+ * aoutx.h (set_section_contents): Allow an otherwise unrepresentable
+ read-only section that lies after .text and before .data to be
+ written into the output file and included in a_text.
+ (translate_to_native_sym_flags): If an otherwise unrepresentable
+ section was merged with .text, convert its symbols to N_TEXT
+ symbols.
+ * libaout.h (aout_section_merge_with_text_p): New macro.

2002-12-08 Alan Modra <amodra@bigpond.net.au>
* bfd-in.h: Comment typo fix. Formatting.
