Make some improvements to how SORT_* specifiers and EXCLUDE_FILE specifiers are handled in the linker script grammar.
* ldgram.y (ldgram_had_keep): Make static. (ldgram_vers_current_lang): Likewise. (filename_spec): New rule. (input_section_spec_no_keep): Use filename_spec. (wildcard_maybe_exclude): New rule. (wildcard_spec): Rename to... (section_name_spec): ...this. (section_NAME_list): Rename to... (section_name_list): ...this. (section_name_spec): Simplifiy and use wildcard_maybe_exclude. * ldlang.c (placed_commons): Delete. (lang_add_wild): No longer set placed_commons. (print_wild_statement): Use full names for SORT specifiers. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align.exp: Run new tests. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align3.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align3.t: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align4.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align4.t: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align5.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/align5.t: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-5.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-5.map: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-5.t: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-6.d: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-6.map: New file. * testsuite/ld-scripts/exclude-file-6.t: New file. * NEWS: Mention the changes.

+* Tighten linker script grammar around file name specifiers to prevent the use
+ of SORT_BY_ALIGNMENT and SORT_BY_INIT_PRIORITY on filenames. These would
+ previously be accepted but had no effect.
+
+* The EXCLUDE_FILE directive can now be placed within any SORT_* directive
+ within input section lists.

Changes in 2.29:
* Support for -z shstk in the x86 ELF linker to generate
