Greetings!
When called to retrieve non-relocatable output (i.e. with the
output_bfd parameter set to 0), bfd_get_relocated_section_contents
works on the following platforms:
elf: i386 ppc s390 m68k arm sparc
The following platforms fail:
elf: mips alpha ia64 hppa
coff: i386
1) Is it intended to support this routine on all platforms eventually?
2) Are patches enabling this function likely to be accepted rather
easily, or are they likely to break other currently used
routines?
3) Are there recommended guidelines for such patches? I.e. relatively
safe places for modifications?
4) Are there knowledgeable experts on said systems who can help with
such patches?
Thanks!
