Palmer Dabbelt 9d06997adb RISC-V: Relax RISCV_PCREL_* to RISCV_GPREL_*
In the medany code model the compiler generates PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12
relocation pairs against local symbols because HI20+LO12 relocations
can't reach high addresses.  We relax HI20+LO12 pairs to GPREL
relocations when possible, which is an important optimization for
Dhrystone.  Without this commit we are unable to relax
PCREL_HI20+PCREL_LO12 pairs to GPREL when possible, causing a 10%
permormance hit on Dhrystone on Rocket.

Note that we'll now relax

  la gp, __global_pointer$

to

  mv gp, gp

which probably isn't what you want in your entry code.  Users who want
gp-relative symbols to continue to resolve should add ".option norelax"
accordingly.  Due to this, the assembler now pairs PCREL relocations
with RELAX relocations when they're expected to be relaxed just like
every other relaxable relocation.

		   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.
