   I am trying to target the powerpc-netware platform, I have built the
   nlmconv and ld for powerpc-netware successfully.

Do you really have a PowerPC NetWare system?  I thought that project
was cancelled before it was completed.

   I am using a
   powerpc-elf compiler to give me the ELF-format objects for nlmconv
   to convert and link. When I run nlmconv it shows the following errors
   in a simple hello.c program :

   blacky@intra:~ > powerpc-netware-nlmconv -T example.def 
   powerpc-netware-nlmconv: unresolved PC relative reloc against _TerminateNLM
   powerpc-netware-nlmconv: unresolved PC relative reloc against _SetupArgv
   powerpc-netware-nlmconv: unresolved PC relative reloc against _StartNLM
   powerpc-netware-nlmconv: unresolved PC relative reloc against printf
   powerpc-netware-nlmconv: example.nlm: Invalid operation

   Does anyone know what is wrong and how to make it work ?

I recommend debugging it yourself.  Searching for that error message
in nlmconv.c, I see some suggestive comments.  The code looks somewhat
suspicious to me--it may be comparing an input section to an output
section.

I got PowerPC NetWare close to the point of working, but then the
project was cancelled so I stopped working on it.  I wouldn't be
surprised if it still had lingering bugs, and in any case that was six
years ago and the code has probably bitrotted.
