Re: Is anyone interested in old dump code?

Just by looking at the patch..

+
+ If we don't find the section NAME, that is a fatal error
+ if NOERROR is 0; we return -1 if NOERROR is nonzero. */

+static int
+find_section (name, section_names, file_name, old_file_h, old_section_h, noerror)
Although defining this function is a good idea, it does not change the
effect of the code...
+
+ if (old_sbss_index != -1)
+ if (!strcmp (old_section_names + NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_name, ".sbss"))
+ {
+ NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_offset =
+ round_up (NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_offset,
+ NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_addralign);
+ NEW_SECTION_H (nn).sh_type = SHT_PROGBITS;
+ }
This seems to be the only new part.
Are there any ChangeLog entries describing the changes? Are there any
platforms where we are currently failing?
Given the problems we had with the "Linux processor type problem" I am
a bit weary of syncing just for syncing sake.
