This could have been fixed by + renumbering relocations, which would keep object files created by an + older version of gas compatible with a newer ld. However, that would + require an ABI update, affecting other assemblers and linkers that + create and process the relocations correctly. It is recommended that + all VLE object files be recompiled, but ld can modify the relocations + if --vle-reloc-fixup is passed to ld. If the new ld command line + option is not used, ld will ld warn on finding relocations inconsistent + with the instructions being relocated. + +* The nm program has a new command line option (--with-version-strings) which will display a symbol's version information, if any, after the symbol's name. |
