	* elf32-arm.h (elf32_arm_merge_private_bfd_data): Always permit
	BFDs containing no sections to be merged, regardless of their flags.

2000-11-04  Philip Blundell  <philb@gnu.org>

	* elf32-arm.h (elf32_arm_relocate_section): Suppress error message
	if a relocation for an undefined symbol also results in an
	overflow.
