Accept R_MIPS_HI16, R_MIPS_HIGHER and R_MIPS_HIGHEST relocations and
their compressed counterparts in PIC code where the symbol referred is
absolute. Such an operation is meaningful, because an absolute symbol
effectively is a constant the calculation of the value of which has been
deferred to the static link time, and which is not going to change any
further at the dynamic load time. Therefore there is no need ever to
refuse the use of these relocations with such symbols, as the resulting
run-time value observed by the program will be correct even in PIC code.
This is not the case with R_MIPS_26 and its compressed counterparts,
because the run-time value calculated by the instructions these
relocations are used with depends on the address of the instruction
itself, and that can change according to the base address used by the
dynamic loader. Therefore these relocations have to continue being
rejected in PIC code even with absolute symbols.
This allows successful linking of code that relies on previous linker
behavior up to commit 861fb55ab50a ("Defer allocation of R_MIPS_REL32
GOT slots"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-08/msg00096.html>,
which introduced the problematic check missing this special exception
for absolute symbols.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
