- Subject: More Solaris 2 ABI fixes: emit _DYNAMIC etc. into .dynsym
When regtesting current GCC mainline with CVS gas and gld, I found a
couple of errors compared to a bootstrap with Sun ld. The worst one was
that the boehm-gc gctest program randomly crashed with a SEGV due to
memory corruption. As a consequence, every libjava execution test hangs
indefinitely, which is especially bad since for yet unknown reasons the
DejaGnu timeout mechanism doesn't work here.
It took me almost a day to investigate this problem, but ultimately it
turned out that shared libraries weren't registered as static roots
(boehm-gc/dyn_load.c (GC_FirstDLOpenedLinkMap)), so GC memory pointed to
by variables in those libraries could be freed prematurely.
The reason for this is that GNU ld doesn't follow the Solaris 2 ABI: it
requires that (among others) _DYNAMIC be emitted into the .dynsym table,
and boehm-gc relies on that, cf.

While this already happens for versioned shared objects since my patch
PATCH: Properly support Solaris 2 ABI for symbol versioning in GNU ld
http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2010-02/msg00457.html
I had overlooked that this requirement exists for dynamic executables
and unversioned shared objects alike.
The patch below implements this, allows the boehm-gc tests to work and
test results for libjava now match those found with Sun ld.
Ok for mainline?

* emultempl/solaris2.em (elf_solaris2_before_allocation): Renamed
basever_syms to abi_syms.
Emit abi_syms into .dynamic section for all executables and shared
objects.
