The minimum supported version of binutils has been raised to 2.25.1.
Drop the old code.

PPC is the last user of ld-ifversion. With all the callers removed,
the macro definition in scripts/Makefile.compiler can go away.

^ Perhaps this comment is still relevant and should not yet be
discarded? Or updated, dropping " if possible".

I think we still want this block for ld.lld. Prior to this change,
ld.lld would fail the ld-ifversion check and use crtsavres.o. Now, it
will try to use '--save-restore-funcs', which it doesn't have support
for, breaking the build for at least powernv_defconfig:

ld.lld: error: unknown argument '--save-restore-funcs'

Good catch, this should probably be rewritten to use ld-option then.

I wonder what LLD's default behavior is, and if we need a feature request filed?

I have implemented the save/restore functions[1] in ld.lld
(https://reviews.llvm.org/D79977) but do not add --(no-)?save-restore-funcs.
ld.lld's behavior matches GNU ld default: for non-relocatable links,
save/restore functions are synthesized.

ld.bfd --save-restore-funcs changes a relocatable link to define save/restore
functions. Is this behavior sufficiently useful? I don't think the obscure
linker option --save-restore-funcs is used anywhere else (checked with Debian
Code Search).


[1]: In the 64-bit ELF V2 API Specification: Power Architecture, 2.3.3.1. GPR
Save and Restore Functions defines some special functions which may be
referenced by GCC produced assembly (LLVM does not reference them).
