Re: Does your .eh_frame_hdr change work with DW_EH_PE_absptr?

Here is the problem:

#ifndef ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT
#define ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT(CODE,GLOBAL)  DW_EH_PE_absptr
#endif

It is true that .eh_frame_hdr itself doesn't need run-time relocation.
But the VALUEs stored in .eh_frame_hdr may be the one before run-time
relocation. It is the case for Linux/mips, which uses DW_EH_PE_absptr.
You have to make sure the VALUEs stored in .eh_frame_hdr need no
run-time relocations. But there are no checks in elf-eh-frame.c for
run-time relocations on .eh_frame_hdr. As the result, ld generates the
wrong binary silently. I am enclosing a simple asm code. The initial
loc field in FDE is

$LFB1:
	...
	.4byte	$LFB1

It needs the run-time relocation. But the value stored in .eh_frame_hdr
is before the run-time relocation is made.

BTW, this gcc patch seems to pass my very limited test.
