Andrew Burgess a5bf7d4fe7 ld: Extend documentation for EXCLUDE_FILE
There was a gap in the documentation of EXCLUDE_FILE that could cause
confusion to a user.  When writing an input section specifier like this:

    *(EXCLUDE_FILE (somefile.o) .text .text.*)

this could mean one of the following:

   1. All '.text' and '.text.*' from all files except for 'somefile.o',
   or
   2. All '.text' from all files except 'somefile.o', and all '.text.*'
   sections from all files.

It turns out that the second interpretation is correct, but the manual
does not make this clear (to me at least).  Hopefully this patch makes
things clearer.

ld/ChangeLog:

	* ld/ld.texinfo (Input Section Basics): Expand the description of
	EXCLUDE_FILE.

		   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.
