[PATCH, COMMIT]: Allow ^ and ! inside linker scripts regexps


Hi Guys,

  I am applying the patch below to allow the caret (^) and exclamation
  point (!) characters to be used inside linker script regular
  expressions.  The code in fnmatch() (in libiberty) supports them, but
  the linker's parser was not accepting them.  Thus expressions like:
  
    .text: { *(.text.[^.]* )

  would not work.

	* ldlex.l (WILDCHAR): Add the caret and exclamation point
	characters, so that they can be used inside regexps.
