Patch, aix import symbols in archives
- To: binutils at sources dot redhat dot com
- Subject: Patch, aix import symbols in archives

This patch improves the linker's handling of shared objects, specifically import
symbols contained in archives. The loader section of each member of the archive
is searched for needed import symbols.
As a side effect, this also fixes a problem with the existing dynamic obj in
lib check. Aix lib's can mix 32 and 64 bit objects in the same library and
bfd_openr_next_archived_file can return a valid, for the archive, object with an
invalid magic # for the current link.
