Hi Andrew,

Nick, any feedback either way would be great.


Oops - sorry for the delay.

Replace the options --warn-orphan and --no-warn-orphan with a single
option --orphan-handling=MODE, where mode can be place, warn, error, and
discard.

Mode 'place' is the default, and is the current behaviour, placing the
orphan section into a suitable output section.

Mode 'warn' is the same as '--warn-orphan'.  The orphan is also placed
using the same algorithm as for 'place'.

Mode 'error' is the same as '--warn-orphan' and '--fatal-warnings'.

Mode 'discard' assigns all output sections to the /DISCARD/ section.

The patch is approved - please apply - but ... please could you alsoadd an entry in the ld/NEWS file mentioning the new/updated feature ?


Cheers
  Nick
