Thanks, Ian,
I'm looking at the configure.ac. The idea is to have a set of asm files and "correct" obj dumps to compare the result with (I'd
prefer to keep all dependencies inside binutils as much as reasonable).
Is there a "standard" directory structure for the platform specific filees?
Should I create a new "arm" directory under the gold/testsuite and place everything there?
Best regards,
Viktor

Sorry for a dumb question.
I'm trying to figure out how to use the gold testsuite for platform-specific things.
It doesn't seem like it fits well.
Could anyone point me to any existing and working unit test for any platform-dependent reallocation, please?
It's not a dumb question. There are two ways to approach this. The
first is to see if there is any to generate the relocation using
ordinary C code. If so, write a test case in C which verifies that it
does the right thing, or simply extend the existing basic_test.cc.
basic_test.cc tests various different cases, but it does not test
different type sizes.
If the relocation can not be generated using ordinary C code, then you
have to use AM_CONDITIONAL in configure.ac to generate a new Makefile
conditional, and test it in testsuite/Makefile.am to control use of an
assembler test case.
