[Milkymist-devel] new R_LM32_16_GOT relocation

[Sébastien Bourdeauducq]

Hi,

I'm sorry to bother you, but how should the Linux loader handle, in practice, 
the relocations of type R_LM32_16_GOT? Is there a reference loader somewhere 
(how was the linker tested?) or some more documentation? I'm afraid you 
overestimate our understanding of FDPIC...

Thanks,
Sébastien
