[Gcl-devel] Re: BFD relocations

[Camm Maguire]

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!
