powerpc-eabi-ld (relaxing)

[Reini, Dave]

Hello,

I've been using a gcc cross compiler with target powerpc-elf
and host sparc-sun-solaris2.7.
I create a number of intermediate .o files with powerpc-eabi-ld,
then combine all those .o files to create the .elf.
It has been working fine, but I've run into a situation where
sections of the .sbss from different intermediate .o's end up
getting overlapped in the final link. For some reason (looking at the map
file),
the size of the sbss section in one .o has been reduced after
"relaxing". It shows the correct size before relaxing. Does
anyone know what is happening on a relax?

Thanks,


Dave Reini
