except one: the binaries produced by this version of binutils crashes the loader of BeOS versions BONE, Dano (and probably Zeta, too). That's a pity, but I currently do not know how to fix this (as the fix available for older versions of binutils does not work anymore). git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/buildtools/trunk@20192 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96

@section ELF backends
|
|
BFD support for ELF formats is being worked on.
|
|
Currently, the best supported back ends are for sparc and i386
|
|
(running svr4 or Solaris 2).
|
|
|
|
Documentation of the internals of the support code still needs
|
|
to be written. The code is changing quickly enough that we
|
|
haven't bothered yet.

|
|
Helper functions for GDB to locate the string tables.
|
|
Since BFD hides string tables from callers, GDB needs to use an
|
|
internal hook to find them. Sun's .stabstr, in particular,
|
|
isn't even pointed to by the .stab section, so ordinary
|
|
mechanisms wouldn't work to find it, even if we had some.
