Patch to add ARM Mapping symbols

Keith.Walker Keith.Walker@arm.com

Attached is a patch which generates the ARM Mapping Symbols, defined in the
ARM ELF Specification, which can be used to determine which areas of a
section contain ARM code, Thumb code or data.

Keith
This patch to the binutils packag provides the ability to create the
ARM Mapping symbols defined in section 5.4.6 in the ARM ELF specification
(which can be found at http://www.arm.com/Documentation/ISTSpecs/ ).

This facility is included by defining the pre-processor symbol
ARM_MAPPING_SYMBOLS.

[The sorting of mapping symbols to before the local symbols (are required
in the ARM ELD specification) is, unfortunately, included in what is
effectively generic code rather than ARM specific code.  Someone who
is more proficient with the source can hopefully identify if there
is a more appropriate place for this code.]
