I've found a problem in objcopy/bfd 960425.
If I do a simple objcopy infile outfile,
the ri_gp_value register in the .reginfo section is set to 0.
This occurs since:
1) The input section is copied to the output section
2) mips_elf_section_processing subsequently copies elf_gp there,
but elf_gp was never set for an objcopy.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best place to change this?
It seems that all of the processing except mips_elf_section_processing
is architecture independent. The bfd_map_over_sections on both
setup_section and copy_section doesn't set the output elf_gp
to the input_gp ever.
At the time I do the mips_elf_section_processing, I no longer
have the input bfd.
Advice?
This type of thing should normally be handled in the copy_private_data
routine: mips_elf_copy_private_bfd_data.
