Hi all,
This patch series updates much of the support for ARM ABI attributes.
This should bring it closer in line with version 2.07 of the ABI.
I've split it into six parts for review purposes. The patches are
intended to be applied in sequence.
1. Tag_compatibility can no longer be defined multiple times.
2. Update the attribute merging.
3. Set attributes by name, as well as by number, in the assembler.
4. Support attributes that have no default value (i.e. zero means
something different to undefined).
5. Custom attribute order in the output file.
6. Collected LD tests.
I already posted and committed readelf support for all the latest
attribute types.
There are probably still a number of issues with attribute ABI
compliance left to be addressed. In particular, some attributes are set
according to the state of the binary, rather than the user's intent.
