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.
