Re: Trivial patch for elf.sc in ld.

   It's created by at least the powerpc linker (which doesn't use this
   ldscript), and I expect it needs to be created by every ELF target
   with shared libraries and .sdata.

   It's needed when you have

   extern int foo;

   /* do something with foo */

   in an application and 'foo' is in a shared library and an 'extern int'
   would usually be in the sdata section; you'd normally put such a
   symbol in .dynbss.

   SDATA_START_SYMBOLS is just there for consistency.

OK.

You need to mention them in ChangeLog.
