Great - once that is sorted out, would you mind posting a version 2 of the patch which addresses these small issues: * There should be an entry in ld/NEWS mentioning the new feature. * There should be documentation in ld/ld.texi describing the new option. * The --help output (from ld_options[] array in lexsup.c) should indicate which of the two new options is the default. * The linker command line in the new skip-map-discarded.d test driver file should include "-e 0" to stop the linker from complaining about the starting address not being defined. * Either the skip-map-discard.s assembler source file should be modified so that the .section directive will work with non-ELF targets (by simply omitting all of the text after ".section _foo") or else the placement of the "run_dump_test skip-map-discarded" line in gc.exp should be moved so that the test is only run for ELF based targets. Thanks. Cheers Nick
