The patch below shows what currently is added/changed to the "official" linker
script.  The question is: what of this is required and should be submitted to
the binutils maintainers?  What is the status/plans for the lto support for DJGPP?
Probably the _environ related entries should be submitted.  I will not submit
anything to the maintainers.  May be DJ and/or Andris can decide what of these
changes should be become part of the next official binutils release.  I do not
know if there is still some one with write access to the binutils repository
but I do not want to ask the binutils maintainers for inclusion of DJGPP
specific changes.  Some one else shall do this.  This issue is related to:
   <http://www.delorie.com/archives/browse.cgi?p=djgpp/2017/05/06/17:45:12>
Please let me know if something is missing or required.

Regards,
Juan M. Guerrero
