Re: PATCH: Add -Ttext-segment ADDR to ELF linker

Hi H.J.

I don't think we should take this risk to potentially break existing
applications.

Agreed.

Here is a patch to add a new switch -Ttext-segment.
I can reuse -Ttext and update linker tests if it is preferred.


ld/
2009-01-13  H.J. Lu  <hongjiu.lu@intel.com>

	* lexsup.c (option_values): Add OPTION_TTEXT_SEGMENT.
	(ld_options): Add -Ttext-segment.
	(parse_args): Handle OPTION_TTEXT_SEGMENT.

* ld.texinfo: Document -Ttext-segment.

	* scripttempl/elf.sc (TEXT_START_ADDR): Use SEGMENT_START.
	(SHLIB_TEXT_START_ADDR): Likewise.

ld/testsuite/
2009-01-13  H.J. Lu  <hongjiu.lu@intel.com>

	* ld-elf/textaddr1.d: New.
	* ld-elf/textaddr2.d: Likewise.

Approved - please apply - could you also mention the new option in the ld/NEWS file ?

Cheers
  Nick
