Committed. I didn't see any occurrence of the problem Jan originally
reported in http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-05/msg00235.html on
i386 or powerpc using recent compilers so perhaps some other change
cured it.
bfd/
* elf.c (assign_file_positions_for_load_sections): Revert 2008-05-29
change. Tidy. Don't error on sections not allocated in segment.
ld/testsuite/
* ld-elf/extract-symbol-1sec.d: Update lma.
* ld-i386/alloc.d: Expect a warning, not an error.
