AIX ld allows archives to contain text files by simply ignoring them and printing a warning. This patch enables the same behavior for collect2.
gcc/ChangeLog:
2021-05-20 Clément Chigot <clement.chi...@atos.net>
* collect2.c (scan_prog_file): Skip none-COFF files instead
of raising an error.
Maybe the warning message can be changed as it can say that
an archive is not a COFF file instead of the file inside the archive.
But I don't know how to handle location files under "po/" afterwards,
and it was already the case before.
Please apply if accepted.
