[Gcl-devel] Re: relocation overflow

[Camm Maguire]

Greetings, and thanks for your reply!  I'm a bit unfamiliar with
trampoline algorithms -- do you know of any examples I could look at?
In this particular situation, as you may have guessed, I know all the
addresses in question, but am relying on the arch specific info in bfd
to provide the logic of how to process the actual relocations.

Take care,
