Relating to this patch for peXXigen.c
bfd/peXXigen.c:

I have a question, which can perhaps answer anyone:
Does symbols, for which this patch is, are located in the text segment ?
The reason for this questioin is, because for auto-imported symbols the
first_thunk entry of the IMAGE_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR points directly into the text
segment to a pointer and not(!) to an
IMAGE_IMPORT_BY_NAME structure, which lets the following codefragement crashes.
peXXigen.c::pe_print_idata()
<snip>
--- get IMAGE_IMPORT_BY_NAME structure values ----
ordinal = bfd_get_16 (abfd, data + iat_member - adj);
member_name = (char *) data + iat_member - adj + 2;
fprintf (file, "\t%04lx\t %4d %s\n",
(unsigned long) iat_member,
ordinal,
member_name);
}
Or does anyone another idea how to solve this ?
Ralf
