Verify that the ISA mode of branch targets is the same as the referring relocation, so that an attempt to produce a branch between instructions encoded in different ISA modes each causes an error rather than silently producing non-functional code. Make sure that no symbol or addend bits are silently truncated: terminate with an error if the relocation value calculated cannot be encoded in the relocatable field of a branch; for REL targets also applying to any intermediate addend. Also make jump target's alignment verification consistent with that for branches. This change will require an update to some obscure handcoded assembly sources which make branches to labels placed at data objects, however for microMIPS code only. These labels will have to be updated with the `.insn' directive for containing code to assemble and link successfully. Such code is broken as any such labels have always been required by the microMIPS architecture specification[1][2] to be annotated this way for correct interpretation, and with our old code missing `.insn' directives caused labels to present different semantics depending on whether they were referred with branch (ISA bit ignored) or other relocations (ISA bit respected). Enforcing these checks however will ensure errors in building software, like mixed regular MIPS and microMIPS code links with branches between, will be diagnosed at the build time rather than causing odd run-time errors such as intermittent crashes. It will also let cross-mode BAL instructions be converted to JALX instructions, with a separate change.

BFD is an object file library. It permits applications to use the
same routines to process object files regardless of their format.
BFD is used by the GNU debugger, assembler, linker, and the binary
utilities.
The documentation on using BFD is scanty and may be occasionally
incorrect. Pointers to documentation problems, or an entirely
rewritten manual, would be appreciated.
There is some BFD internals documentation in doc/bfdint.texi which may
help programmers who want to modify BFD.
BFD is normally built as part of another package. See the build
instructions for that package, probably in a README file in the
appropriate directory.
BFD supports the following configure options:
--target=TARGET
The default target for which to build the library. TARGET is
a configuration target triplet, such as sparc-sun-solaris.
--enable-targets=TARGET,TARGET,TARGET...
Additional targets the library should support. To include
support for all known targets, use --enable-targets=all.
--enable-64-bit-bfd
Include support for 64 bit targets. This is automatically
turned on if you explicitly request a 64 bit target, but not
for --enable-targets=all. This requires a compiler with a 64
bit integer type, such as gcc.
--enable-shared
Build BFD as a shared library.
--with-mmap
Use mmap when accessing files. This is faster on some hosts,
but slower on others. It may not work on all hosts.
Report bugs with BFD to bug-binutils@gnu.org.
Patches are encouraged. When sending patches, always send the output
of diff -u or diff -c from the original file to the new file. Do not
send default diff output. Do not make the diff from the new file to
the original file. Remember that any patch must not break other
systems. Remember that BFD must support cross compilation from any
host to any target, so patches which use ``#ifdef HOST'' are not
acceptable. Please also read the ``Reporting Bugs'' section of the
gcc manual.
Bug reports without patches will be remembered, but they may never get
fixed until somebody volunteers to fix them.
