	MIPS_RESERVED_GOTNO.
	(mips_elf_create_got_section): Don't allocate reserved GOT
	entries here.  Unconditionally create .got.plt, but don't
	set its alignment here.
	(mips_elf_relocation_needs_la25_stub): New function.
	(mips_elf_calculate_relocation): Redirect branches and jumps to
	a non-PIC stub if one exists.  Check !h->has_static_relocs instead
	of !htab->is_vxworks when deciding whether to create dynamic
	relocations for R_MIPS_32, R_MIPS_REL32 and R_MIPS_64.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_create_dynamic_sections): Unconditionally call

	stub might be required.  Set can_make_dynamic_p to TRUE if R_MIPS_32,

	for read-only sections in non-PIC executable objects.
	Do not protect this code with dynobj == NULL || htab->sgot == NULL;
	handle each group of cases separately.  Add a default case that
	sets has_static_relocs for non-GOT relocations that cannot be
	made dynamic.  Don't set is_relocation_target and is_branch_target.
	Reject non-PIC static relocations in shared objects.

	(_bfd_mips_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): ...here, using
	htab->use_plts_and_copy_relocs instead of htab->is_vxworks
	to select PLT and copy-reloc handling.  Set the alignment of
	.plt and .got.plt when allocating the first entry.  Generalize
	code to handle REL as well as RELA sections and 64-bit as well as
	32-bit GOT entries.  Complain if we find a static-only reloc
	against an externally-defined symbol and if we cannot create
	dynamic relocations for it.  Allocate copy relocs using
	mips_elf_allocate_dynamic_relocations on non-VxWorks targets.
	Set possibly_dynamic_relocs to 0 when using PLTs or copy relocs.
	Skip reserved .got.plt entries.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_always_size_sections): Use mips_elf_check_symbols
	instead of mips_elf_check_mips16_stubs to process each symbol.
	Do the traversal for relocatable objects too.
	(mips_elf_lay_out_got): Use htab->reserved_gotno instead of
	MIPS_RESERVED_GOTNO.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Exclude sdynbss if it
	is empty.  Extend the DT_PLTREL, DT_JMPREL and DT_PLTRELSZ handling
	to non-VxWorks targets.  Only add DT_REL{,A}, DT_REL{,A}SZ and
	DT_REL{,A}ENT if .rel.dyn is nonempty.  Create a symbol for the
	PLT.  Allocate a nop at the end of the PLT.  Allocate DT_MIPS_PLTGOT.
	(mips_elf_create_la25_stub_info): New function.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol): Write out PLT entries
	and copy relocs where necessary.  Check pointer_equality_needed.
	(mips_finish_exec_plt): New function.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_sections): Always set DT_PLTGOT
	to the beginning of htab->sgot.  Use htab->reserved_gotno instead
	of MIPS_RESERVED_GOTNO.  Assert htab->use_plts_and_copy_relocs
	instead of htab->is_vxworks for DT_PLTREL, DT_PLTRELSZ and DT_JMPREL.
	Set DT_PLTREL to DT_REL instead of DT_RELA on non-VxWorks targets.
	Use mips_finish_exec_plt to create non-VxWorks PLT headers.  Set
	DT_MIPS_PLTGOT.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_copy_indirect_symbol): Copy has_static_relocs
	from the indirect symbol to the direct symbol.  Also copy
	has_nonpic_branches for indirect symbols.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_get_target_dtag): Handle DT_MIPS_PLTGOT and
	DT_MIPS_RWPLT.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_link_hash_table_create): Initialize the new
	mips_elf_link_hash_table fields.
	(_bfd_mips_vxworks_link_hash_table_create): Set
	use_plts_and_copy_relocs to TRUE.  Use TRUE rather than 1
	when setting is_vxworks.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_use_plts_and_copy_relocs): New function.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_final_link): Call mips_elf_create_la25_stub for
	each la25_stub.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data): Treat dynamic objects
	as PIC.  Generalize message about linking PIC and non-PIC.
	(_bfd_mips_elf_plt_sym_val, _bfd_mips_post_process_headers): New
	functions.
	* reloc.c: Update comment near BFD_RELOC_MIPS_JUMP_SLOT.
	* bfd-in2.h: Regenerated.

		README for LD

This is the GNU linker.  It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils.  See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.

There are many features of the linker:

* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
  that it uses to read and write object files.  This helps
  insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.

* The linker supports a number of different object file
  formats.  It can even handle multiple formats at once:
  Read two input formats and write a third.

* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.

* The linker supports a control language.

* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
  beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).

Installation
============

See ../binutils/README.

If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.

To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).

Porting to a new target
=======================

See the ldint.texinfo manual.

Reporting bugs etc
===========================

Known problems
==============

The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable.  The GNU linker does not do this by default.  This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets).  This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl.  You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.

HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly.  The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages.  There are various
workarounds to this:
  * Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
  * Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
  * Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
    genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
    emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
