The original MIPS SVR4 psABI defines the calculation for the R_MIPS_26
relocation in a complex way, as follows[1]:
Name Value Field Symbol Calculation
R_MIPS_26 4 T-targ26 local (((A << 2) | \
(P & 0xf0000000)) + S) >> 2
4 T-targ26 external (sign-extend(A << 2) + S) >> 2
This is further clarified, by correcting typos (already applied in the
excerpt above) in the 64-bit psABI extension[2]. A note is included in
both documents to specify that for the purpose of relocation processing
a local symbol is one with binding STB_LOCAL and type STT_SECTION, and
otherwise, a symbol is external.
We have both calculations implemented for the R_MIPS_26 relocation, and
by extension also for the R_MIPS16_26 and R_MICROMIPS_26_S1 relocations,
from now on collectively called jump relocations. However our code uses
a different condition to tell local and external symbols apart, that is
it only checks for the STB_LOCAL binding and ignores the symbol type,
however for REL relocations only. The external calculation is used for
all RELA jump relocations.
In reality the difference matters for jump relocations referring local
MIPS16 and, as from recent commit

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.
