Correct ELF linker code so as to set the `sh_info' value of the static symbol table section according to the section symbols vs other symbols split where required by the selection of the IRIX compatibility mode for MIPS target. Add a `elf_backend_elfsym_local_is_section' hook for that purpose, returning TRUE if it is only STB_LOCAL/STT_SECTION symbols that are to be considered local for the purpose of this split rather than all STB_LOCAL symbols. We do it already in generic ELF code, and have done it since 1993, with the `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook, affecting GAS and `objcopy', so these tools produce correct ELF output in the IRIX compatibility mode, however if such output is fed as input to `ld -r', then the linker's output is no longer valid for that mode. The relevant changes to generic ELF code are: commit 062189c6eab72c7ba1bab1cf30fdb27d67a7d668 Author: Ian Lance Taylor <ian@airs.com> Date: Thu Nov 18 17:12:47 1993 +0000 and: commit 6e07e54f1b347f885cc6c021c3fd912c79bdaf55 Author: Ian Lance Taylor <ian@airs.com> Date: Thu Jan 6 20:01:42 1994 +0000 (split across two GIT commits likely due to repository conversion peculiarities). The `elf_backend_sym_is_global' hook however operates on BFD rather than ELF symbols, making it unsuitable for the ELF linker as the linker does not convert any symbol tables processed into the BFD format. Converting the hook to operate on ELF symbols would in principle be possible, but it would still require a considerable rewrite of `bfd_elf_final_link' to adapt to the interface. Therefore, especially given that no new use for the IRIX compatibility mode is expected, minimize changes made to the ELF linker code and just add an entirely new hook, and wire it in the o32 and n32 MIPS backends accordingly; the n64 backend never uses the IRIX compatibility mode. Since we have no coverage here at all add suitable GAS, LD and `objcopy' test cases to the relevant testsuites to keep these tools consistently verified. bfd/ * elf-bfd.h (elf_backend_data): Add `elf_backend_elfsym_local_is_section' member. * elfxx-target.h (elf_backend_elfsym_local_is_section): New macro.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
