PR ld/14962

	* ldexp.h (struct ldexp_control): Add "assign_name".
	* ldexp.c (fold_name <NAME>): Compare and clear assign_name on match.
	(exp_fold_tree_1): Remove existing code testing for self assignment.
	Instead set and test expld.assign_name.
	* ldlang.c (scan_for_self_assignment): Delete.
	(print_assignment): Instead set and test expld.assign_name.
