ld option to leave .reloc section on .exe?

ld option to leave .reloc section on .exe?

[Chris Metcalf]

Is there any way to convince the Cygwin toolchain to leave the relocation
information (normally in a .reloc section) in a .exe file?  By default it
strips it off, and if you pass -r (--relocateable) then what you actually
get is a COFF object file (i.e. an .obj) but with a .exe extension, which
is quite a different kind of animal.

Many thanks!

Hi Chris

    I have an experience that add "--embedded-relocs" option 
    to ld. It will generate a .reloc section.

Like this 
$m68k-pic-coff-gcc -Xlinker --embedded-relocs test.c 

    My target is "m68k-pic-coff" maybe it's differemce from yours
    Hope it works.
