[v3] i386: Allow -mlarge-data-threshold with -mcmodel=large
Checks
Commit Message
When using -mcmodel=medium, large data objects larger than the
-mlarge-data-threshold threshold are placed into large data sections
(.lrodata, .ldata, .lbss and some variants). GNU ld and ld.lld 17 place
.l* sections into separate output sections. If small and medium code
model object files are mixed, the .l* sections won't exert relocation
overflow pressure on sections in object files built with -mcmodel=small.
However, when using -mcmodel=large, -mlarge-data-threshold doesn't
apply. This means that the .rodata/.data/.bss sections may exert
relocation overflow pressure on sections in -mcmodel=small object files.
This patch allows -mcmodel=large to generate .l* sections and drops an
unneeded documentation restriction that the value must be the same.

Aren't these regex-es, and hence the dots all need escaping or enclosing
in square brackets?

Good catch! I am not familiar with dg-* directives... I can send a v4, but
I'd like to know whether there are other comments.
