Fix a commit 861fb55ab50a ("Defer allocation of R_MIPS_REL32 GOT
slots"), <https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-08/msg00096.html>,
regression and a more recent:
FAIL: ld-unique/pr21529
new LD test case failure, observed with all the relevant MIPS targets
whenever the linker is invoked with one or more ELF inputs and the
output format set to `binary'.
The culprit is a segmentation fault caused in `mips_before_allocation'
by a null pointer dereference, where an attempt is made to access the
ELF file header's `e_flags' member, for the purpose of determining
whether to produce a PLT and copy relocations, without first checking
that the output BFD is ELF. The `e_flags' member is stored in BFD's
private data pointed to by `tdep', which in the case of the `binary' BFD
is null, causing the segmentation fault. With other non-ELF BFDs such
as SREC `tdep' is not null and consequently no crash may happen and in
that case random data will be interpreted as it was `e_flags'.
Disable the access to `e_flags' then and all the associated checks and
consequently never produce a PLT and copy relocations if output is not a
MIPS ELF BFD, matching `_bfd_mips_elf_merge_private_bfd_data' that does
not process `e_flags' in that case either and therefore does not let us
decide here anyway if all the input objects included in the link are
suitable for use with a PLT and copy relocations.

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.
