Alan Modra f6c7c3e8b7 Referencing a function's address on PowerPC64 ELFv2
ELFv2 needs to create plt entries in a non-PIC executable for an
address reference to a function defined in a shared object.  It's
possible that an object file has no features that distinguish it as
ELFv1 or ELFv2, eg. an object only containing data.  Such files need
to be handled like those that are known to be ELFv2.
However, this unnecessarily creates plt entries for the analogous
ELFv1 case, so arrange to set output abi version earlier, and use the
output abi version to further distinguish ambiguous input files.

bfd/
	* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_check_relocs): Account for possibly
	needed plt entries when taking the address of functions for
	abiversion == 0 (ie. unknown) as well as abiversion == 2.
	Move opd setup and abiversion checks to..
	(ppc64_elf_before_check_relocs): ..here.  Renamed from
	ppc64_elf_process_dot_syms.  Set output abiversion from input and
	input abiversion from output, if either is not set.
	(ppc64_elf_merge_private_bfd_data): Don't merge flags here.
	(elf_backend_check_directives): Update.

		   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.
