Hi Richard,

This implements support for GCC link-time optimization where GCC places
internal representation of the program in .gnu.lto_ prefixed sections.
When linking these section should be dropped.

2009-08-20 Richard Guenther <rguenther@suse.de>

* scripttempl/elf.sc: Discard sections with .gnu.lto_ prefix.

Approved and applied, but ...

Can these link-time optimizations be applied to targets other than x86 types ? If so, are we going to need similar patches to other linker script templates, such as:

  armpbabi.sc
  elf32sh-symbian.sc
  elf64hppa.sc
  elfxtensa.sc
  mep.sc

Cheers
  Nick
