The only guideline is "follow what has been done before". Since you
have done this, the new test looks fine.
I wonder however whether it would be possible to remove the new command
line option and have the linker automatically decide between using
28-bit or 32-bit PLT entries ? Presumably this would require a scan of
the entries first, or maybe just the sizes of the object files, but I
think that users would prefer to have something that just works rather
than having to learn a new linker command line option.
Cheers
Nick
