This patch is a reimplementation of [1] which was submitted in 2015 by Neil Schellenberger. Copyright issue was sorted out [2] last year. It proposed a new section (.gnu.xhash) and related dynamic tag (DT_GNU_XHASH). The new section would be virtually identical to the existing .gnu.hash except for the translation table (xlat) which would contain correct MIPS .dynsym indexes corresponding to the hashvals in chains. This is because MIPS ABI imposes a different ordering on the dynsyms than the one expected by the .gnu.hash section. Another addition would be a leading word (ngnusyms) which would contain the number of entries in the translation table. In this patch, the new section name and dynamic tag are changed to reflect the fact that the section should be treated as MIPS-specific (.MIPS.xhash and DT_MIPS_XHASH). This patch addresses the alignment issue as reported in [3], which is caused by the leading word added to the .MIPS.xhash section. Leading word is removed in this patch, and the number of entries in the translation table is now calculated using DT_MIPS_SYMTABNO dynamic tag (this is addressed by the corresponding glibc patch). Suggestions on coding style in [4] were taken into account. Existing GNU hash testcase was covered, and another one was added in the MIPS part of the testsuite. The other major change is reserving MIPS ABI version 5 for .MIPS.xhash, marking the need of support for .MIPS.xhash in the dynamic linker (again, addressed in the corresponding glibc patch). This is something which I am not sure of, especially after reading [5]. I am confused on whether this ABI version is reserved for IFUNC, or it can be used for this purpose.

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.
