Re: [PATCH] PR ld/16746: Don't issue a warning for reference in LTO IR

[Alan Modra <amodra@gmail.com>]

The thread https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2014-03/msg00261.html 
died without any resolution, I guess a case of me wanting perfection
and rejecting the good.  So now that I've merged the WARN and CWARN
my concern with HJ's patch is covered.  This is what I'm about to
commit on HJ's behalf.

bfd/
	PR ld/16746
	* linker.c (_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol): Don't issue a
	warning for references in LTO IR to warning symbols.

ld/testsuite/
	PR ld/16746
	* ld-plugin/lto.exp: Add 4 tests for PR ld/16746.
	* ld-plugin/pr16746a.c: New file.
	* ld-plugin/pr16746b.c: Likewise.
	* ld-plugin/pr16746c.c: Likewise.
	* ld-plugin/pr16746d.c: Likewise.
