Wordsmithing in 2.3.2.1 #96

Language in the third paragraph of 2.3.2.1 has led to some confusion in the past (GCC issue 90513, for example). A linker "causing control to transfer" can be read as a linker "constructing a new call," which is not the intent; this should apply to all targets of a global entry point.

Consider "When control is transferred to a global entry point ..., the linker must insert... " to make this more clear by removing agency from the linker for the transfer of control.
