The Go version has 64 character long section names; originally,
in Plan 9, the limit was 16. To provide compatibility, this
change allows the input length to be either the target length
or the earlier option. The section name is extended with spaces
where required.
This has been tested to work without regressions in the
Go environment, testing the older alternative has not been
possible yet.

The EXTERN lines in elf.h already define these.
That's not a problem for most C compilers, but
apparently it is for some copies of the OS X linker.

The dynamic ELF sections were pointing to the proper data,
but that data was already owned by the rodata and text sections.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.
The data for these sections was moved out and their ranges are
now owned by their respective sections. This change makes strip
happy both with and without -s being provided at link time.
A test was added in debug/elf to ensure there are no regressions
on this area in the future.
Fixes#1242.
Fixes#2022.

The gosymtab and gopclntab sections were pointing to the proper
data, but that data was already owned by the rodata section.
Some ELF references explicitly prohibit multiple sections from
owning the same data, and strip behaves accordingly.
The data for these sections was moved to after rodata, and the
gosymtab and gopclntab sections now own their respective ranges.
This change makes strip happy both with and without -s being
provided at link time. Note that it won't remove these sections
because they are still allocated, and that's by design since
they are necessary at runtime for generating proper backtraces
and similar introspection operations.
Unlike the previous behavior, -s will now maintain zero-sized
gosymtab and gopclntab sections. This makes the implementation
slightly cleaner.
Fixes#1242.

This prevents ld from generating zeroed symtab entries for
sections that aren't going to be generated because dynamic
linkage has been disabled (-d was used or no dynamic libs
were seen). Even though they were not explicitly added by
doelf, the section creation process was making them
reachable again.
The windows head is being disconsidered for this because
apparently it's not taking into account debug['d'].
This makes elflint 0.1% happier.

Once these changes are effected, it is possible to construct
"8l" native on a (386?) Plan 9 system, albeit with assistance
from modules such as mkfiles that are not (yet) included in any
public patches.
8l/asm.c:
. Corrected some format qualifiers.
8l/list.c:
. Cast a print() argument to (int) to match the given format.
It may be possible to change the format (%R), but I have not
looked into it.
8l/obj.c:
. Removed some unused code.
8l/span.c:
. Removed unnecessary incrementation on "bp".
. Corrected some format qualifiers.
ld/data.c:
. Corrected some format qualifiers.
. Cast print argument to (int): used as field size.
. Use braces to suppress warning about empty if() statements.
ld/dwarf.c:
. Trivial spelling mistake in comment.
ld/ldelf.c:
. Added USED() statements to silence warnings.
. Dropped redundant address (&) operators.
. corrected some format qualifiers.
. Cast to (int) for switch selection variable.
ld/macho.c:
. Added USED() statements to silence warnings.
ld/ldpe.c:
. Added USED() statements to silence warnings.
. More careful use of "sect" variable.
. Corrected some format qualifiers.
. Removed redundant assignments.
. Minor fix dropped as it was submitted separately.
ld/pe.c:
. Dropped <time.h> which is now in <u.h>.
. Dropped redundant address (&) operators.
. Added a missing variable initialisation.
ld/symtab.c:
. Added USED() statements to silence warnings.
. Removed redundant incrementation.
. Corrected some format qualifiers.
All the above have been tested against a (very) recent release
and do not seem to trigger any regressions.
All review suggestions have been incorporated.

The "elf.h" header changes involve only comments, the released
Plan 9 C preprocessing function does not cope with multiline
comments following the #define keyword. All multiline comments
have been moved to the line above the associated definition.
Sigh! Fixing the Plan 9 compiler is not an option.
<time.h> does not exist in the Plan 9 Native library. I have
moved it from src/cmd/ld/pe.h to include/u.h. RSC correctly points
out that this copy of <u.h> is not the one used to compile the
Go release on Plan 9 platforms.

I started looking at this code because the nm in GNU
binutils was ignoring the first symbol in the .symtab
section. Apparently, the System V ABI reserves the
first entry and requires all fields inside to be set
to zero.
The list of changes is as follows:
· reserve the first symbol entry (as noted above)
· fix the section indices for .data and .bss symbols
· factor out common code for Elf32 and Elf64
· remove the special case for elfsymo in [568]l/asm.c:/^asmb
· add the "etext" symbol in 6l
· add static symbols

These changes are not particularly invasive and have been tested
as broadly as possible.
8l/l.h:
- #pragma varargck: added some, removed duplicates.
ld/dwarf.c:
- As Plan 9 has no NULL, changed all occurrences to nil.
- Added USED(size); where necessary.
- Added (void) argument in definition of finddebugruntimepath().
- Plan 9 compiler was complaining about multiple
assignments, repeaired by breaking up the commands.
- Correction: havedynamic = 1; restored.
ld/go.c:
- Needed USED(file); in two functions.
- Removed unused assignments flagged by the Plan 9 compiler.
ld/lib.c:
- Replaced unlink() with remove() which seems available everywhere.
- Removed USED(c4); and USED(magic) no longer required.
- Removed code flagged as unused by the Plan 9 compiler.
- Added attributes to a number of format strings.

Static symbols were not being marked as such.
I also made the 'z' symbols use the first byte of
the name instead of an explicit NUL so that if
the symbol table format is ever changed, the only
place that would need updating is addhist().
