The GUN linker can still fix the relocation entries of `foo.out' correctly
with the following linker script.
$cat image.lds
OUTPUT_ARCH(mips)
ENTRY(Init)
SECTIONS
{
.text 0x188e1000 : { *(.text) }
.data 0x18909000 : { *(.data) }
_bss_start = ABSOLUTE(.);
.bss 0x18921000 : { *(.sbss) *(.bss) }
_bss_end = ABSOLUTE(.);
}
$mips-elf-ld -T image.lds -EL -o foo.img foo.out
Maybe I should have a look at the source to find how it works.
