GNU libtool checks the output from invoking the linker with --version
and --help, in order to determine the linker "flavour" and the command-
ine arguments to use for various link operations (e.g. generating shared
libraries). To detect GNU ld it looks for the strings "GNU" and
"supported targets:.*elf". Since LLD is compatible with GNU ld we
include those same strings to fool libtool.
Quoting from a comment in the change:
This is somewhat ugly hack, but in reality, we had no choice other
than doing this. Considering the very long release cycle of Libtool,
it is not easy to improve it to recognize LLD as a GNU compatible
linker in a timely manner. Even if we can make it, there are still a
lot of "configure" scripts out there that are generated by old
version of Libtool. We cannot convince every software developer to
migrate to the latest version and re-generate scripts. So we have
this hack.

The change was made to support glibc and believed to be a no-op on
FreeBSD, but that is not the case for architectures with multiple page
sizes, such as arm64. The relro p_memsz header was rounded up to the
default maximum page size (64K). When 4K pages are in use, multiple
pages beyond the final PT_LOAD segment had their permissions changed to
read-only after application of relocations and copy relocations, which
led to a segfault in certain cases.
This reverts upstream r290986. I have started a discussion about the
upstream fix on the LLVM mailing list.

Fix PR31644 introduced by r287138 and add a regression test.
Thanks Dimitry Andric for the report and fix!
This should restore -MP output to what it was before.

[PowerPC] Refactor soft-float support, and enable PPC64 soft float
This change enables soft-float for PowerPC64, and also makes
soft-float disable all vector instruction sets for both 32-bit and
64-bit modes. This latter part is necessary because the PPC backend
canonicalizes many Altivec vector types to floating-point types, and
so soft-float breaks scalarization support for many operations. Both
for embedded targets and for operating-system kernels desiring
soft-float support, it seems reasonable that disabling hardware
floating-point also disables vector instructions (embedded targets
without hardware floating point support are unlikely to have Altivec,
etc. and operating system kernels desiring not to use floating-point
registers to lower syscall cost are unlikely to want to use vector
registers either). If someone needs this to work, we'll need to
change the fact that we promote many Altivec operations to act on
v4f32. To make it possible to disable Altivec when soft-float is
enabled, hardware floating-point support needs to be expressed as a
positive feature, like the others, and not a negative feature,
because target features cannot have dependencies on the disabling of
some other feature. So +soft-float has now become -hard-float.
Fixes PR26970.
Pull in r283061 from upstream clang trunk (by Hal Finkel):
[PowerPC] Enable soft-float for PPC64, and +soft-float -> -hard-float
Enable soft-float support on PPC64, as the backend now supports it.
Also, the backend now uses -hard-float instead of +soft-float, so set
the target features accordingly.
Fixes PR26970.

[PowerPC] Add support for -mlongcall
The "long call" option forces the use of the indirect calling
sequence for all calls (even those that don't really need it). GCC
provides this option; This is helpful, under certain circumstances,
for building very-large binaries, and some other specialized use
cases.
Fixes PR19098.
Pull in r280041 from upstream clang trunk (by Hal Finkel):
[PowerPC] Add support for -mlongcall
Add support for GCC's PowerPC -mlongcall option; the backend supports
the corresponding target feature as of r280040.
Fixes PR19098.

FreeBSD uses LLVM's libunwind on FreeBSD/arm64 today (and we expect to
use it more widely in the future) and it requires the EH frame segment
in static binaries.
