+ * elf-bfd.h (struct elf_link_hash_entry): Add unique_global field.
+ * elf.c (swap_out_syms): Set binding to STB_GNU_UNIQUE for symbols
+ with the BSF_GNU_UNIQUE flag bit set.
+ * elfcode.h (elf_slurp_symbol_table): Set the BSF_GNU_UNIQUE flag
+ for symbols with STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding.
+ * elflink.c (_bfd_elf_merge_symbol): Set unique_global for symbols
+ with the STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding.
+ (elf_link_add_object_symbols): Set the BSF_GNU_UNIQUE flag for
+ symbols with STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding. Set STB_GNU_UNIQUE for
+ symbols with the unique_global field set.
+ (elf_link_output_extsym): Set unique_global field for symbols with
+ the STB_GNU_UNIQUE binding.
+ * syms.c (struct bfd_symbol): Define BSF_GNU_UNIQUE flag bit.
+ (bfd_print_symbol_vandf): Print a 'u' character for BSF_GNU_UNIQUE
+ symbols.
+ (bfd_decode_symclass): Return a 'u' character for BSF_GNU_UNIQUE
+ symbols.
+ * bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
