Why does m32r-elf use REL relocations?

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Kazuhiro,

> Would you tell me why M32R target uses REL relocations instead of RELA?

Because that is what Mitsubishi requested.  They were concerned about
the size of object files and wanted to use REL relocations as these
are smaller.

The problem would be incompatibility with already existing m32r object
files.  (In libraries for instance).
