Sriraman Tallam 1642b4b337 Optimizing accesses to Globals with -fpie -pie:
With -pie and x86, the linker complains if it sees a PC-relative relocation
to access a global as it expects a GOTPCREL relocation.  This is really not
necessary as the linker could use a copy relocation to get around it.  This
patch enables copy relocations with pie.

Context:
This is useful because currently the GCC compiler with option -fpie makes
every extern global access go through the GOT. That is because the compiler
cannot tell if a global will end up being defined in the executable or not
and is conservative. This ends up hurting performance when the binary is linked
as mostly static where most of the globals do end up being defined in the
executable.  By allowing copy relocs with fPIE, the compiler need not generate
a GOTPCREL(GOT access) for any global access.  It can safely assume that all
globals will be defined in the executable and generate a PC-relative access
instead.  Gold can then create a copy reloc for only the undefined globals.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
