[Bug ld/3009] New: "ld --sort-section xxx" doesn't work with wildcard list

[hjl at lucon dot org]

The --sort-section patch

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2004-10/msg00020.html

doesn't work with wildcard list.

address@hidden sort-2]$ cat sort.t
SECTIONS
{
  .text : { *(.text .text.*) }
  /DISCARD/ : { *(.*) }
}
address@hidden sort-2]$ cat x.s
        .section .text.2
        .p2align 3
text2:
        .long 0
        .section .text.3
        .p2align 6
text3:
        .long 0
        .section .text.1
        .p2align 5
text1:
        .long 0
        .text
text:
        .p2align 4
        .long 0
address@hidden sort-2]$ make LD=ld
as   -o x.o x.s
ld -o x -T sort.t --sort-section alignment x.o
nm -n x
0000000000000000 t text
0000000000000008 t text2
0000000000000040 t text3
0000000000000060 t text1

The problem is in update_wild_statements:

+             sec = s->wild_statement.section_list;
+             if (sec != NULL)
+               {
+                 switch (sec->spec.sorted)

It should use a for loop to handle the list.
