Hey Martin,

I had a discussion with Nick and CC'd kai on getting the binutils patch in
tree a week ago.

It seems to be moving along.

Oh, I see - ok.

Can you briefly summarize what change this does and why it's necessary, since the plain mingw patch as such seems to work already both with binutils ld and with lld? Is it in order to guarantee that the symbols in the mingw patch are sorted correctly so that we can be sure that the markers are set correctly?

Does lld need a similar patch as well, or does it already do some similar sorting? And what about link.exe?
