(elf_write_phdrs): Use precomputed e_phoff rather than making assumptions.
(elf_build_phdrs): Disabled, for now.
(assign_file_position_for_section): Don't change file offset for SHT_NOBITS.
(assign_file_positions_for_symtab_and_strtabs): New function.
(struct seg_info): New type.
(map_program_segments): New function.
(assign_file_positions_except_relocs): For executables, leave section headers
&c for last, and properly align all sections with flag SHF_ALLOC set.
(prep_headers): No longer abort when EXEC_P is set.
(write_shdrs_and_ehdr): Deleted all code relating to program segments.
(various): Deleted some unused code, and debugging "malloc(0)" calls.
(write_relocs): Cache value of last symbol looked up, to save
time if the symbol is referred to repeatedly.
(elf_fake_sections): Check only SEC_RELOC flag, not number of relocs.
(assign_section_numbers): Likewise.
HPPA/ELF README file:
HP PA-RISC support was contributed by the Center for Software Science
at the University of Utah.
This is the status of the hppa/elf code in bfd 2.0 as of January 29, 1993:
1. It generates correct ELF files for all of the input I've given it
so far. I've used this version of libbfd.a to build an hppa/elf
version of gas 1.36 (emits SOM). I've run files as large as 200K
lines of assembly through it.
2. ELF executables that are created *always* have 3 program header
table entries. This is due to the exec() support we have in the
kernel for ELF executables. It expects *exactly* 3 program header
table entries -- one for text, one for data, and one for bss.
Currently, there's no support for any other types of program header
table entries.
