/* We can't adjust any relocs that use LR% and RR% field selectors.
- That confuses the HP linker. */
+
+ If a symbol is reduced to a section symbol, the assembler will
+ adjust the addend unless the symbol happens to reside right at
+ the start of the section. Additionally, the linker has no choice
+ but to manipulate the addends when coalescing input sections for
+ "ld -r". Since an LR% field selector is defined to round the
+ addend, we can't change the addend without risking that a LR% and
+ it's corresponding (possible multiple) RR% field will no longer
+ sum to the right value.
+
+ eg. Suppose we have
+ . ldil LR%foo+0,%r21
+ . ldw RR%foo+0(%r21),%r26
+ . ldw RR%foo+10(%r21),%r25
+
+ If foo is at address 4090 (decimal) in section `sect', then after
+ reducing to the section symbol, we get
+ . LR%sect+4090 == L%sect+0
+ . RR%sect+4090 == R%sect+4090
+ . RR%sect+4100 == R%sect-4092 (4100 - 8192)
+ and the last address loses.
+
+ Obviously, in cases where the LR% expression is identical to the
+ RR% one we will never have a problem, but is so happens that gcc
+ rounds addends involved in LR% field selectors to work around a
+ HP linker bug. ie. We often have addresses like the last case
+ above where the LR% expression is offset from the RR% one. */
