1061 section merging works in ld.
1065 Actually create data structures from version map file and use it to hide
1068 Implement -s -s for ld.
1072 Improve relocation table output in readelf. Avoid some crashes.
1073 Finish many section handling in readelf.
1075 Finish: finish implementation of ld -r. At least some simple tests pass.
1079 Fix a number of errors in ELF_C_WRITE handling.
1081 Almost finished implementation of ld -r. The data sections are all copied.
1082 Handling of symbol tables is missing.
1086 Handle DSO and archive input files correctly if -r option is given.
1088 Gracefully deal with no phdr in new file in libelf.
1089 Fix various small error handling problems.
1090 Don't mmap file for output unless the command says so.
1092 Add code to create ELF section header table to ld finalize routines.
1096 Fix some problems with recursive handling of archives in libelf.
1098 Improve messages printed by nm.
1100 Add symbol binding name handling to libebl. Fix section name handling in
1103 readelf and nm use more libebl functions.
1105 Handle XINDEX correctly in nm and string.
1107 Add first machine ld backend library (i386).
1108 Use it. Recognize -r and --shared. Avoid using -lxxx parameters for -r.
1109 Create ELF header in output file. Change mode of output file according to
1110 output file type. Reorganize callback initialization in ld.
1114 Fix some memory leaks in libelf.
1118 Implement reading version script. Both inside linker scripts and via the
1119 --version-script command line parameter. Uses the same code.
1120 What remains to be done is to implement a data structure which allows
1121 efficient matching against the version names to decide which pattern
1124 Beginning of output generation and output writing functions.
1128 Finish implementation for DSO input file handling. Implement rpath, runpath,
1129 and LD_LIBRARY_PATH handling.
1133 make handling of e_shnum overflow in libelf standard conforming
1135 ld now actually can handle DSOs in linker scripts. Handling of DT_RUNPATH,
1136 DT_RPATH, -rpath, -rpath-link still remains to be implemented.
1138 fix handling of -L parameters. Make actual use of the default_paths element.
1140 make re-definition of symbols in and from DSO compatible with existing linker
1144 more work on assigning input sections to output sections.
1146 Add gelf_xlatetof and gelf_xlatetom which were accidently left out.
1148 Fix memory handling of section headers.
1152 Add many-section support to ld. Add various new command line parameters.
1153 Allow pagesize to be specified in linker script or on the command line.
1154 Collect input sections in list for the output section according to the rules
1155 specified in the linker script.
1159 Fix some problems in the internal list handling which had the result
1160 that we didn't look for some of the unresolved symbols.
1162 Free some memory if we know we don't need it anymore.
1164 Optimize the list of unresolved symbols. Throw out symbols which are
1169 Got file reading correct now. The files are all read while parsing
1170 the parameters. No creating of data structures to describe the linker
1171 command line. The symbol table is built up while reading the files.
1172 DSOs are handled now. -( -) handling is optimized.
1176 Linker read linker scripts everywhere. Handles --whole-archive. Recognizes
1177 --dynamic and --static. Collects defined and undefined symbols. Recognizes
1180 libebl now defines functions to call the callbacks. Add generic name handling
1181 in these new functions. Remove the code from readelf and call the new
1186 Start of linker. Basic argument parsing, finding of input files,
1187 linker script reading.
