From 0ba8926e08bdabba681384ba3ea8476eda68c141 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gabor Juhos Date: Tue, 12 Feb 2013 22:22:13 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MIPS: u-boot.lds: add relocation specific sections This section contain the table needed for dynamic relocation. Also provide symbols for the relocation code to access the table. Discard all sections which are not needed in the final ELF binary and U-Boot image. Section .dynsym cannot be discarded or GNU ld crashes otherwise. This section will be stripped by GNU objcpy in a later patch.
