	NAME.
	* ldgram.y (file_NAME_list): Accept '*' and '?' specially.
	(input_section_spec): Accept '?' specially.
	(statement): Change exp to mustbe_exp in length and FILL cases.
	(section): Call ldlex_script before section statements, and call
	ldlex_popstate after them.
	* ldlang.c: Include "fnmatch.h".
	(wildcardp): New static function.
	(wild_section): Permit the section name to be a wildcard.
	(wild_file): New static function, broken out of wild.
	(wild): Call wild_file.  Permit the file name to be a wildcard.

+
+* The SunOS and ELF linkers now merge stabs debugging information which uses
