// Here we define the Parameters class which simply holds simple
// general parameters which apply to the entire link.  We use a global
// variable for this.  The parameters class holds three types of data:
//    1) An Errors struct.  Any part of the code that wants to log an
//       error can use parameters->errors().
//    2) A const General_options.  These are the options as read on
//       the commandline.
//    3) Target information, such as size and endian-ness.  This is
//       available as soon as we've decided on the Target (after
//       parsing the first .o file).
//    4) Whether we're doing a static link or not.  This is set
//       after all inputs have been read and we know if any is a
//       dynamic library.
