Hi Stephen,

  Thanks very much for creating this patch.  The changes themselves
  look fine, although there is one issue - a linker testsuite
  regression:

    FAIL: extract symbols

  This is from the ld/testsuite/ld-scripts section of the tests and
  happened for me when testing with a toolchain configured for
  "pdp11-dec-aout".  An examination of the test and the log file
  suggests that the problem is that file containing the extracted
  symbol also contains some data.  I am not sure why this would be
  happening, but please could you investigate.

  Another important issue is that in order to be able to accept the
  patch we will need an FSF Copyright assignment from you.  You can
  start this process by filling out the form here and then emailing
  it off:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=doc/Copyright/request-assign.changes;hb=HEAD

  The patch will definitely need to be extended to include some 
  documentation in the ld/ld.texi file.  It would also help if you
  added a sentence or two to the ld/NEWS file mentioning the new
  feature.

  Ideally we would also like to see a new linker test to check the
  behaviour of the new code.  I am not sure how easy this will be
  to write, but please do try.

Cheers
  Nick
