Julian Seward 05124264b0 Remove link_tool_exe.c and replace it with perl scripts that do the
same thing.  A .c file doesn't work for cross compilation.

# This script handles linking the tool executables on Linux,
# statically and at an alternative load address.
#
# Linking statically sidesteps all sorts of complications to do with
# having two copies of the dynamic linker (valgrind's and the
# client's) coexisting in the same process. The alternative load
# address is needed because Valgrind itself will load the client at
# whatever address it specifies, which is almost invariably the
# default load address. Hence we can't allow Valgrind itself (viz,
# the tool executable) to be loaded at that address.
#
# Unfortunately there's no standard way to do 'static link at
# alternative address', so this program handles the per-platform
# hoop-jumping.
#
#
# What we get passed here is:
# first arg
# the alternative load address
# all the rest of the args
# the gcc invokation to do the final link, that
# the build system would have done, left to itself
#
# We just let the script 'die' if something is wrong, rather than do
# proper error reporting. We don't expect the users to run this
# directly. It is only run as part of the build process, with
# carefully constrained inputs.
#
# Linux specific complications:
#
# - need to support both old GNU ld and gold: use -Ttext= to
# set the text segment address.
#
# - need to pass --build-id=none (that is, -Wl,--build-id=none to
# gcc) if it accepts it, to ensure the linker doesn't add a
# notes section which ends up at the default load address and
# so defeats our attempts to keep that address clear for the
# client. However, older linkers don't support this flag, so it
# is tested for by configure.in and is shipped to us as part of
# argv[2 ..].
#
#
# So: what we actually do:
#
# pass the specified command to the linker as-is, except, add
# "-static" and "-Ttext=<argv[1]>" to it.
#
