Commit: Add support for displaying and merging GNU_BUILD_NOTEs


Hi Guys,

  I am applying the patch below to add support for displaying and
  merging GNU_BUILD_NOTEs.  The proposal for these notes can be
  found here:

    https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Toolchain/Watermark#Questions

  The notes are designed so that they can be used without any
  modifications to the assembler or linker.  But in order to display the
  contents of the notes readelf needs an update.  Plus in order to
  reduce redundancy in the notes (and thus save size in the binary
  containing them) a merge-notes option has been added to objcopy.

Cheers
  Nick
