PATCH: PR 757: Linker fails to set correct alignment for common symbol


We ignored alignment requirement of common symbolsif they are in DSO.
This patch tries to fix it.

2005-02-22  H.J. Lu  <hongjiu.lu@intel.com>

	PR 757
	* elf-bfd.h (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Add a pointer to unsigned
	int.

	* elf32-sh-symbian.c (sh_symbian_relocate_section): Pass NULL
	to _bfd_elf_merge_symbol.

	* elflink.c (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Use the pointer to
	unsigned int to return the alignment of the old common symbol
	in the dynamic object.
	(_bfd_elf_add_default_symbol): Pass NULL to
	_bfd_elf_merge_symbol.
	(elf_link_add_object_symbols): Pass &old_alignment to
	_bfd_elf_merge_symbol. Get the alignment of the new common
	symbol in the dynamic object.
