(MIPS_ELF_OPTIONS_SECTION_NAME): Likewise.
(MIPS_ELF_STUB_SECTION_NAME): Likewise.
(_bfd_mips_elf_section_from_shdr): Use them.
(_bfd_mips_elf_fake_sections): Likewise. Add .srdata to the list
of GP-relative sections.
(_bfd_mips_elf_set_section_contents): Use them.
(_bfd_mips_elf_section_processing): Share code between .sdata and
.lit4/.lit8 sections. Set appropriate flags for .srdata.
(mips_elf_additional_program_headers): Add handling for
PT_MIPS_OPTIONS segment on IRIX6.
(mips_elf_modify_segment_map): Likeiwse.
(mips_elf_final_link): Set EF_MIPS_CPIC when required by the ABI.
Include the options sections on IRIX6. Don't look for GP-relative
sections by name; use SHF_MIPS_GPREL instead.
(ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER): Adjust to use /usr/lib32/libc.so.1 for
the N32 ABI.
(mips_elf_create_dynamic_sections): Don't muck about with section
alignments and such on IRIX6.
(mips_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Use MIPS_ELF_STUB_SECTION_NAME.
(mips_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Likewise. Adjust to handle the
fact that ELF_DYNAMIC_INTERPRETER is no longer a constant. Use
bfd_zalloc rather than bfd_alloc and memset.
(mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol): Use MIPS_ELF_STUB_SECTION_NAME.
Don't assert the existence of .rld_map on IRIX6.
(mips_elf_finish_dynamic_sections): Use MIPS_ELF_STUB_SECTION_NAME.
BFD is a an object file library. It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.
The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.
BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.
BFD supports the following configure options:
--target=TARGET
The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is
a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
--enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
Additional targets the library should support. To include
support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
--enable-64-bit-bfd
Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically
turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64
bit integer type, such as gcc.
--enable-shared
Build BFD as a shared library.
--with-mmap
Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts,
but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts.
Report bugs with BFD to bug-gnu-utils@gnu.org.
Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not
send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other
systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.
Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
