[PATCH] Fix setting of sh_link for SHF_LINK_ORDER sections

- Subject: [PATCH] Fix setting of sh_link for SHF_LINK_ORDER sections
When stripping a section with objcopy (like --strip-debug) the sh_link
pointers are not properly set up, because the elf_linked_to_section was
pointing to the input section. On the other hand, for an output section
the output_section pointer should always point to itself, so following
this link should always do the right thing. Tested on ia64-suse-linux.
Andreas.

* elf.c (assign_section_numbers): Always use the output section
when setting up sh_link for SHF_LINK_ORDER.
