[PATCH 0/3] AVR linker relaxation org/align support


This patch series adds support to the AVR toolchain so that .org and
.align directives, used in the assembler, will be honoured in the
linker, even when linker relaxation is used.

Previously, and .org or .align directives were only considered within
the assembler, once the section contents had been generated and passed
to the linker all the .org / .align information was discarded, and the
linker would be happy to break the .org / .align requirements during
linker relaxation.

This series is in three parts, in the first patch I extend the
assembler to capture and record the .org and .align information.  This
is written out into a new .avr.prop section.

In the second patch I add support to objdump to pretty print the
contents of the .avr.prop section.  This includes adding the code for
loading the contents of the section back in.

The third patch extends the linker (well bfd really) so that during
linker relaxation, the contents of the .avr.prop section are used to
control which bytes can be deleted so that the .org and .align
directives are still maintained.

I'd welcome feedback and review.  Otherwise, OK to merge?

Thanks,
Andrew
