A number of places in elf32-nios.c created dynamic sections but didn't
set the hash table dynobj. That meant we could have duplicate dynamic
sections connected to a number of bfds, so size_dynamic_sections
didn't properly discard or allocate contents.
Also, the entire set of dynamic sections was created in check_relocs
on seeing GOT relocs, when only .got related sections are needed,
probably done to hide segfaults later in finish_dynamic_sections.
The patch fixes these issues and makes the assembler emit errors when
nios2 lacks the necessary pc-relative relocs for subtraction
expressions, rather than silently generating bad code.
eg. ld-elf/merge. I've also tidied uses of elf32_nios2_hash_table and
elf_hash_table.

PR 20995
* elf32-nios2.c (nios2_elf32_relocate_section): Use htab
rather than elf32_nios2_hash_table or elf_hash_table.
(create_got_section): Likewise.
(nios2_elf32_finish_dynamic_symbol): Likewise.
(nios2_elf32_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Likewise.
(nios2_elf32_size_dynamic_sections): Likewise.
(nios2_elf32_check_relocs): Delete dynobj, sgot, and srelgot
vars. Use htab equivalents directly instead. Don't create
all dynamic sections on needing just the GOT. Use a goto
rather than a fall-through with reloc test. Ensure
htab->dynobj is set when making dynamic sreloc section.
(nios2_elf32_finish_dynamic_sections): Delete dynobj, use htab
equivalent directly instead. Don't segfault on looking for
.dynamic when dynamic sections have not been created. Don't
segfault on .got.plt being discarded.
(nios2_elf32_size_dynamic_sections): Delete plt and got vars.
Don't set "relocs" on .rela.plt. Do handle .sbss. Delete
fixme and another not so relevant comment.
(nios2_elf_add_symbol_hook): Delete dynobj var. If not
already set, set hash table dynobj on creating .sbss.

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
===========================
See ../binutils/README.
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.
