Subject: [RFC PATCH 09/10] arm: discard all .dyn* sections
Date: Sat, 20 May 2023 14:55:46 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20230520205547.1009254-10-CFSworks@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20230520205547.1009254-1-CFSworks@gmail.com>

This makes the output ELF friendlier to llvm-objcopy, which
otherwise complains about discarding .dynsym when it's
(potentially) referenced by .rel.dyn.

Since u-boot doesn't actually make use of a dynamic linker,
and these sections are only here because we're building --pie,
it's best to discard what we don't need.
