Make import libraries relocatable objects
For ELF targets --out-implib currently generates an executable file (e_type is ET_EXEC) despite the file being expected to be linked against some other object file to make an executable later. It seems therefore more sensible to make the import library a relocatable object file (e_type set to ET_REL). Incidentally, as dicted by requirement 8 of "ARM v8-M Security Extensions: Requirements on Development Tools" (document ARM-ECM-0359818) version 1.0, import libraries generated when using --cmse-implib *must* be relocatable object file so this commit also adds an assert there in case the type of ELF import library is changed again in the future. 2017-05-08 Thomas Preud'homme <thomas.preudhomme@arm.com> bfd/ * elflink.c (elf_output_implib): Remove executable flag from import library bfd. * elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_filter_implib_symbols): Assert that the import library is a relocatable object file. ld/ * testsuite/ld-arm/arm-elf.exp (Secure gateway import library generation): Check e_type field of import library and executable produced. * testsuite/ld-arm/cmse-implib.type: Expectations for e_type field.
