+Subject: [PATCH] libgcc/mkmap-symver: support skip_underscore
+
+Some platforms, such as Blackfin, have a special prefix for assembly
+symbols as opposed to C symbols. For this reason, a function named
+"foo()" in C will in fact be visible as a symbol called "_foo" in the
+ELF binary.
+
+The current linker version script logic in libgcc doesn't take into
+account this situation properly. The Blackfin specific
+libgcc/config/bfin/libgcc-glibc.ver has an additional "_" in front of
+every symbol so that it matches the output of "nm" (which gets parsed to
+produce the final linker version script). But due to this additional
+"_", ld no longer matches with the symbols since "ld" does the matching
+with the original symbol name, not the one prefixed with "_".
+
+Due to this, none of the symbols in libgcc/config/bfin/libgcc-glibc.ver
+are actually matched with symbols in libgcc. This causes all libgcc
+symbols to be left as "LOCAL", which causes lots of "undefined
+reference" whenever some C or C++ code that calls a function of libgcc
+is compiled.
+
+To address this, this commit introduces a "skip_underscore" variable to
+the mkmap-symver script. It tells mkmap-symver to ignore the leading
+underscore from the "nm" output.
+
+Note that this new argument is different from the existing
+"leading_underscore" argument, which *adds* an additional underscore to
+the generated linker version script.
+
+Having this functionality paves the way to using the generic linker
+version information for Blackfin, instead of using a custom one.
