+Subject: [PATCH] elf: Return error on unsorted symbol table if not allowed
+
+Normally ELF symbol table should be sorted, i.e., local symbols precede
+global symbols. Irix 6 is an exception and its elf_bad_symtab is set
+to true. Issue an error if elf_bad_symtab is false and symbol table is
+unsorted.
+
+ PR ld/33450
+ * elflink.c (set_symbol_value): Change return type to bool and
+ return false on error. Issue an error on unsorted symbol table
+ if not allowed.
+ (elf_link_input_bfd): Return false if set_symbol_value reurns
+ false.
