On nios2-linux-gnu, there has been a long-standing bug in C++ exception
handling that sometimes resulted in link errors like
../nios2-linux-gnu/bin/ld: FDE encoding in /tmp/cccfpQ2l.o(.eh_frame) prevents .eh_frame_hdr table being created
when building some shared libraries or PIE executables. The root of
the problem is that GCC was incorrectly emitting an absolute encoding
in EH tables for PIC. This patch changes it to use either
DW_EH_PE_indirect (for global) or DW_EH_PE_datarel (for local), and
fixes libgcc so it can find the address of the GOT as the base address
for DW_EH_PE_datarel.
Complicating matters somewhat, GAS was missing support for
%gotoff(symbol) relocation syntax. I have just pushed a fix for that,
but I've added a configure check to test for presence of the binutils
support and fall back to the current absolute encoding (which works
most of the time) if it is not available. Once the fix makes it into
an official binutils release it might be appropriate to make this
error out instead.
Since this is a wrong-code bug and affects only nios2 target, I think
this is appropriate for Stage 4. I regression-tested on both
nios2-linux-gnu and nios2-elf, with and without the binutils support
present, before committing this.
