us up to version 2.17.50.20070703, at the last GPLv2 commit.
Amongst others, this added upstream support for some FreeBSD-specific
things that we previously had to manually hack in, such as the OSABI
label support, and so on.
There are also quite a number of new files, some for cpu's (e.g. SPU)
that we may or may not be interested in, but those can be cleaned up
later on, if needed.

* bfd/elf.c (assign_file_positions_for_non_load_sections): Don't warn
zero size allocated sections.
* ld/ldlang.h (lang_output_section_statement_type): Add
section_relative_symbol.
* ld/ldlang.c (strip_excluded_output_sections): Don't strip a section
with a symbol relative to it.
(lang_size_sections_1): Mark if an output section has a symbol symbol
relative to it.
This prevents warnings like the following during stripping of debug info
from kernel modules on i386:

* ldlang.c (lang_size_sections_1, lang_assignment_statement_enum):
Adjust the current address of DEFAULT_MEMORY_REGION even when dot
hasn't changed.
This is a prerequisite for the fix coming just after this.
moved from ld/emultempl/elf32.em to ld/ldlang.c, so apply approximately
the same change as upstream, which has description:
* ldlang.c (lang_insert_orphan): Add __start_<section> symbol assignment
inside output section statement. Ensure only one set of symbols per
output section.
* emultempl/pe.em (gld_${EMULATION_NAME}_place_orphan): Add non-dollar
sections before dollar sections. Correct add_child list insertion.
Taken from upstream git commit 7e01d69a19a8fd079887f26853c8565da15ff340,
with permission to use it under GPLv2 from the author.
Binutils has a "contrib" subdirectory - thus flattening cannot happen
without renaming the upper level contrib directory in a first pass.
Also, don't record this move and remove any keyword expansion.
