Hi Sam,

Did you by any chance evalue the use of INPUT in linker files.
Stephen back then (again based on proposal from Alan Modra),
also made an implementation using INPUT.

The problem with that idea was that (at least for some versions of
binutils in use at the time) we hit a static limit to the number of
object files and ld just stopped at that point. :-(

See below for an updated simple patch on top of mainline.

So, I guess it was fixed, but do we know in what version?
