This patch adds m68k support for elf2flt -a. I've tested it with
load-to-RAM, -msep-data PIC-with-GOT and -mshared-library PIC-with-GOT.
Like ARM, but unlike V850, the new code errors out on relocs it doesn't
understand, rather than assuming that they're 32-bit fields.
It seems likely that every port that supports -a will want to print the
"reloc type not supported in this context" message; we've got two copies
already, and m68k would add a third. I've therefore moved the v850
"bad_v850_reloc_err:" code outside the #ifdef and renamed the label to
the more neutral "bad_resolved_reloc:". I've also changed the ARM code
to use this now-common code instead of its own copy.
In a similar vein, I've changed the default 32-bit field handling
so that it is the target of a new label, "good_32bit_resolved_reloc:".
The generic and v850 code can then jump to this code in their default
cases, while m68k can jump to it for R_68K_32 relocs.
The patch was written before Shaun Jackman made -p and -a work together:
I'd been using this hunk too, but as well as guarding:
q->address += got_size;
with "!use_resolved", I'd guarded the calculation of got_size itself,
as the value isn't otherwise used. I've kept this additional check
in the attached patch. Please apply if OK.

We've eliminated the use of the relocation stack from the Blackfin
toolchain. That means that the corresponding code in elf2flt can go
away, which is done by the patch below.

Newly autoconf generated configure script. It was out-of-date relative
to the current configure.in. It didn't properly process
@binutils_ldscript_dir@, and that meant it was not properly set
in the ld-elf2flt.in/elf2flt.ld processing.

The patch below teaches elf2flt to handle R_68K_PC16 relocs.
Our immediate need for this was to deal with relocs for uClibc's
libc/sysdeps/linux/m68k/clone.S, which has "bcc.w __syscall_error"
instructions. It might be argued that clone.S should be using jbcc
instead, in case __syscall_error ends up too far away. But even if
that's true, elf2flt should still support such branches in cases
whether the user _knows_ that the target is within range.
So I think elf2flt should be patched either way.
We've been using this patch for a while now without problems.

Changed the mode argument for all the popen() calls to be just "w",
instead of "wb". According to the Linux manual page posix implementations
must accept only "r" or "w", no other characters. And you will get a
return error with EINVAL with modern version og glibc if this is not
the case.
It may well be that this is fine for CYGWIN too, someone needs to
test and report.
Calls to fopen and the like are unchanged, and they certainly do
support the "b" mode specifier.
For some (unfathomable) reason, the flat loader in the kernel likes to
use network (big endian) byte order, but only sometimes. In particular,
its assumptions about relocation byte order depend on whether the
executable uses ID shared libraries or not.
It took me most of today to figure out why the kernel was trying to
relocate something at address 0x94160000, until I noticed that that's
the byteswapped version of 0x1694, and further noticed that it was
omitting a byteswap due to the flag Has-PIC-GOT in the flat header.
So, why is that flag set? After all, opreport wasn't compiled with
-mid-shared-library or anything.
It turns out that elf2flt sets that flag if grepping the executable for
GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE succeeds. That's a reasonable thing to do, except
when we link an executable against libbfd.a - which contains
GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE not as a symbol, but as a string, as it needs to
produce the symbol in linker output files.
Changing elf2flt to grep nm output, rather than the executable directly,
fixes the problem. So, in the end it turns out this wasn't related to
the 20030928 failure at all...

This patch adds support for .preinit_array, .init_array and .fini_array
to the elf2flt linker script. This seems useful in itself, and is
actually required for recent versions of uclibc, where UCLIBC_CTOR_DTOR=y
depends on the associated array symbols being defined.
Tested on m68k-uclinux using the gcc and g++ DejaGNU testsuites. I also
ran some tests by hand to make sure that callbacks in the array sections
were being called at the right time. Please install if OK.

Hello,
the following trivial patch is required to build elf2flt
on Darwin. Weirdly, static compilation is intentionally
unsupported by Apple for better compatibility:
http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1118.html
As elf2flt binaries are usually shipped along with other
dynamic binaries such as gcc and gdb, we don't loose
anything on Linux.
I'd commit it myself, but I can't access the CVS server
right now.
This patch allows cross-compilation of elf2flt for MinGW hosts when a
non-MinGW build system is in use. By using uname, there is currently an
assumption in 'Makefile.in' that (build system) == (host system), which
isn't necessarily the case in a Canadian cross environment. (At
CodeSourcery we use Linux for building our MinGW-hosted toolchains, some
of which will soon include elf2flt).

seems my previous attempt at updating the current elf2flt code with nios

Tweaked Makefile.in so that post-configured Makefile tests for a Cygwin build
environment, and if detected, explicitly adjusts the link order so that
libcygwin links *before* libiberty.a. This gets around a Cygwin problem with
getopt()'s optind/optarg symbols. See, for example:

A small patch to ld-elf2flt.in, that lets an elf2flt-ified toolchain run
from a directory other than that specifed in the original ./configure.
Helpful if you distribute toolchains and can't control where people
install them! :) Also helpful if you are testing toolchains and need to
move them around after the elf2flt "make install".
In order to use m68k-uclinux globally as the new toolchain target,
I had to replace config.sub and config.guess in elf2flt with updated
versions already containing the required bits.

Find attached the patch for the elf2flt utility. Except the elf2flt.c file, I have slightly modified the Makefile.in. The reason for this is to check the target architecture and if it is set to "e1", another linker script is installed. The reason for this alchemy is that our linker needs some sections that are included in the e1-elf2flt.ld script.

I've found the bug! A BSS link-once section was missing in elf2flt.ld.
The old version of GCC probably didn't ever generate this kind of

Fixed handling of MICROBLAZE_32 reloc type. The mb-gcc distributes
relocations across several places - the "standard" ones such as
q->addend and bfd_section_vma(), but also embeds small offsets in the
actual text (code) itself. Thus, it is necessary to examine the text to
get an initial offset, then add that to the others to get the final
fixup location.
This is required for at least MICROBLAZE_64 and MICROBLAZE_32 - others
may also need it.

1.) Previously it was writing the relocated pointer at the pointer's section
offset from the start of the containing _segment_, not the start of the
containing section (it doesn't affect most people because for normal

Multiple sections of a given type are combined, and any holes between
sections are filled with zeroes.
This changes the definition of `text', `data', and `bss' to use the
flags set by BFD, rather than requiring hardwired input section names
(for the normal case where one is using GNU ld and the elf2flt.ld linker
script, this should produce identical results, as that only ever
produces the three well-defined sections anyway).

The only mod outside the #ifdef TARGET_microblaze stuff in elf2flt.c is a new

arm expects the data segment on a 32 byte boundary, otherwise the GOT
entries can throw the alignment of the relocations out and things get
pretty ugly from there.
