Alan Modra 726d7d1ecf PR26978, Inconsistency for strong foo@v1 and weak foo@@v1
Prior to this patch
  ld -shared --version-script=pr26979.ver pr26978a.o pr26978b.o
results in
  ld: pr26978b.o: in function `foo_v1':
  (.text+0x0): multiple definition of `foo@v1'
  ld: pr26978b.o:(*IND*+0x0): multiple definition of `foo'
while
  ld -shared --version-script=pr26979.ver pr26978b.o pr26978a.o
results in no error, but some odd dynamic symbols.
  ... 0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT    7 foo@v1
  ... 0 NOTYPE  WEAK   DEFAULT    7 foo@@v1

When linking an undecorated reference to foo against such a shared
library, ld complains about multiple definitions of foo@v1 while gold
creates a dynamic reference to foo@v1.  That results in foo@v1 being
used at runtime.

While we could error in both cases, it is reasonable to say foo@v1 and
foo@@v1 are in fact the same symbol.  (Same name, same version.  The
only real difference is that foo@@v1 satisfies a reference to plain
foo, while foo@v1 does not.)  Just as merging a weak undecorated sym
with a strong sym results in the strong sym prevailing, so should the
strong foo@v1 prevail.  And since there is a definition that satisfies
plain foo, the foo@@v1 variety of dynamic symbol should be emitted at
the foo@v1 value.  That makes the testcase that currently links
continue to produce a shared library, and that shared library can now
be used by both ld and gold with the same runtime behaviour as when
using gold with the odd dynamic symbol library.

bfd/
	PR 26978
	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_add_default_symbol): Handle the case where
	a new weak sym@@ver should be overridden by an existing sym@ver.
	(elf_link_add_object_symbols): Don't _bfd_elf_add_default_symbol
	for a new weak sym@ver when sym@@ver already exists.
	* linker.c (link_action): Choose MIND for previous indirect,
	current def, rather than MDEF.
	(_bfd_generic_link_add_one_symbol <MIND>): Handle redefinition of
	weak indirect symbol.
ld/
	* testsuite/ld-elf/pr26978a.d,
	* testsuite/ld-elf/pr26978a.s,
	* testsuite/ld-elf/pr26978b.d,
	* testsuite/ld-elf/pr26978b.s: New tests.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
