Prevent a null BFD pointer dereference and a resulting segmentation
fault in `mips_elf64_write_rel' or `mips_elf64_write_rela':

in the MIPS64 (n64 MIPS) ELF backend whenever the STN_UNDEF symbol index
is retrieved from the `r_sym' field of a relocation seen in input while
running `objcopy' or `strip'. The reason for the null BFD pointer is
that internally in BFD an STN_UNDEF symbol reference resolves to an
absolute zero symbol that does not have a BFD associated. Check the
pointer then before using it, like the generic ELF backend does in
`elf_write_relocs'.
This complements the same change made for generic ELF bundled with:

which (obviously due to a CVS -> GIT repository conversion inaccuracy)
seems to be one corresponding to this ChangeLog entry:
* elfcode.h (write_relocs): Handle absolute symbol.

("Add SH ELF support."), which also updated RELA only and not REL (which
has been since fixed with: commit 947216bf8f34 ("ELF reloc code tidy"),
<https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2002-11/msg00727.html>).

* elf64-mips.c (mips_elf64_write_rel): Handle a NULL BFD pointer
in the BFD symbol referred by the relocation.
(mips_elf64_write_rela): Likewise.
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.
