relocations with addenda

relocations with addenda

[Stuart Clarke]

Hi all,

I am attempting to compile a simple program on my i386 machine for an ARM 
target.  In doing this, GCC produces a relocation section in its output file 
(.rel.text).  This relocation section is of the no-addenda variety, however, 
and is incompatible with the system on which I am attempting to run my 
program.  Said system requires a .rela.text section for its relocations (i.e. 
one with addenda values).

Is there any way to ask GCC to produce a rela.text section, rather than a 
rel.text one?  I've looked in the docs, but can find no mention of 
relocations.

Thanks,

Stuart

I am using the following version of GCC:

gcc version 2.95.2 20000313 (Debian GNU/Linux)

I apologise for not including this information in my first post.

Thanks again,

Stuart
