So SHT_RELR is wording adopted by many groups, including Solaris which has many differences with the GNU ABI. If https://groups.google.com/g/generic-abi/c/9OO5vhxb00Y "Ongoing Maintenan= ce of the gABI" will take some time, perhaps the wording can be added to Syste= m V Application Binary Interface Linux Extensions temporarily? --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
