Fix incorrect adjustment of diff relocs when relaxing, and thus the
resulting source line to address mismatch.
Fix two issues when adjusting diff relocs to account for
deleted bytes.
1. Don't adjust the difference if the end address is the shrinked
insn's address i.e. use < instead of <=. The relaxation code deletes
count bytes from or after shrinked_insn_address, so the difference
between start_address and end_address should remain unchanged in this
case.
2. Adjust the reloc addend if the difference is to be adjusted and
symval + reloc addend is past the shrinked insn address. This is
because for a typical sym1 - sym2 diff reloc, sym1 is .text +
irel->r_addend, and the addend should be reduced to account for the
shrinked insn.
For example, assume the reloc value is .text + 0x8 with .text = 0, the
diff value in the object file = 0x4, and shrinked_insn_address = 0x4
with count = 0x2. Then the existing code writes 0x2 into the object
file to account for the deleted bytes, as shrinked_insn_address lies
between 0x8 and 0x8 - 0x4 = 0x4, but leaves the addend as is. The next
time the reloc is looked at, the code sees if a shrinked_insn_address
lies between 0x8 and 0x8 - 0x2 = 0x6, instead of 0x6 and 0x4. If there
happens to be one, then the diff value in the object file ends up
getting reduced again.

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.
