Re: [binutils patch]: -print-gc-sections option: print garbage collected sections

[Nick Clifton <nickc@redhat.com>]

Hi H.J., Hi Marcelo,

> I am forwarding it to the binutils mailing list.

I apologise for taking so long to getting round to reviewing this patch.
  As it stands the patch is OK, but incomplete.  So I have taken the
liberty of applying it along with the following changes:

   * I added a --no-print-gc-sections switch so that the option can be
     turned off.

   * I added documentation to the ld.texinfo file describing the new
     switches.

   * I added an entry to the ld/NEWS file describing the new feature.

   * I changed the message that is printed so that it explicitly states
     that it is telling the user about a deleted section, and I used the
     bfd error handler routine so that the correct filename can be
     displayed.

   * I created a set of ChangeLog entries for the patch.

Cheers
   Nick
