-This is the GNU linker.  It is distributed with other "binary
-utilities" which should be in ../binutils.  See ../binutils/README for
-more general notes, including where to send bug reports.
-
-There are many features of the linker:
-
-* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
-  that it uses to read and write object files.  This helps
-  insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.
-
-* The linker supports a number of different object file
-  formats.  It can even handle multiple formats at once:
-  Read two input formats and write a third.
-
-* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.
-
-* The linker supports a control language.
-
-* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
-  beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).
-
-Installation
-============
-
-See ../binutils/README.
-
-If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
-a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
-You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile.
-
-To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
-directory (one directory above this one).
-
-Porting to a new target
-=======================
-
-See the ldint.texinfo manual.
-
-Reporting bugs etc
-===========================

-See ../binutils/README.

-Known problems
-==============

-The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
-executable.  The GNU linker does not do this by default.  This is
-because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
-similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets).  This does not
-matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
-which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl.  You can make
-the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
---export-dynamic command line option.

-HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
-generated incorrectly.  The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
-- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages.  There are various
-workarounds to this:
-  * Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
-  * Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
-  * Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
-    genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
-    emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
