When SHF_GNU_MBIND was added in the SHF_LOOS to SHF_HIOS range, it should have required ELFOSABI_GNU since these flags are already in use by other OSes. HPUX SHF_HP_TLS in fact has the same value. That means no place in binutils should test SHF_GNU_MBIND without first checking OSABI, and SHF_GNU_MBIND should not be set without also setting OSABI. At least, that's the ideal, but the patch accepts SHF_GNU_MBIND on ELFOSABI_NONE object files since gas didn't always set OSABI. However, to reinforce the fact that SHF_GNU_MBIND isn't proper without a non-zero OSABI, readelf will display the flag as LOOS+0 if OSABI isn't set. The clash with SHF_HP_TLS means that hppa64-linux either has that flag on .tbss sections or supports GNU_MBIND, not both. (hppa64-linux users, if there are any, may have noticed that GNU ld since 2017 mysteriously aligned their .tbss sections to a 4k boundary. That was one consequence of SHF_HP_TLS being blindly interpreted as SHF_GNU_MBIND.) Since it seems that binutils, gdb, gcc, glibc, and the linux kernel don't care about SHF_HP_TLS I took that flag out of .tbss for hppa64-linux. bfd/ * elf-bfd.h (enum elf_gnu_osabi): Add elf_gnu_osabi_mbind. * elf.c (_bfd_elf_make_section_from_shdr): Set elf_gnu_osabi_mbind.

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.texi), as well as the
beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texi).
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.texi 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.
