* xcoff.h (XCOFF_CALLED, XCOFF_IMPORT): Update comments.
(XCOFF_WAS_UNDEFINED): New flag.
(xcoff_link_hash_table): Add an "rtld" field.
bfd/
* coff-rs6000.c (xcoff_ppc_relocate_section): Report relocations
against undefined symbols if the symbol's XCOFF_WAS_UNDEFINED
flag is set. Assert that all undefined symbols are either
imported or defined by a dynamic object.
* coff64-rs6000.c (xcoff64_ppc_relocate_section): Likewise.
* xcofflink.c (xcoff_link_add_symbols): Extend function-symbol
handling to all relocations. Only set XCOFF_CALLED for function
symbols.
(xcoff_find_function): New function, split out from...
(bfd_xcoff_export_symbol) ...here.
(xcoff_set_import_path): New function, split out from...
(bfd_xcoff_import_symbol): ...here. Remove assertion for old
meaning of XCOFF_CALLED.
(xcoff_mark_symbol): If we mark an undefined and unimported
symbol, find some way of defining it. If the symbol is a function
descriptor, fill in its definition automatically. If the symbol
is a function, mark its descriptor and allocate room for global
linkage code. Otherwise mark the symbol as implicitly imported.
Move the code for creating function descriptors from...
(xcoff_build_ldsyms): ...here. Use XCOFF_WAS_UNDEFINED to
check for symbols that were implicitly defined.
(xcoff_mark): Don't count any dynamic relocations against
function symbols.
(bfd_xcoff_size_dynamic_sections): Save the rtld parameter
in the xcoff link info.
(xcoff_link_input_bfd): Remove handling of undefined and
unexported symbols.
ld/
* emultempl/aix.em (gld${EMULATION_NAME}_handle_option): Make
-berok and -bernotok control link_info.unresolved_syms_in_objects
and link_info.unresolved_syms_in_shared_libs instead of
force_make_executable.
ld/testsuite/

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.
