* elfxx-mips.c (mips_elf_link_hash_table): Add function_stub_size.
(STUB_ORI): New macro.
(STUB_LI16U): Fix formatting.
(MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_SIZE): Delete.
(MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_MAX_SIZE): Likewise.
(MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_NORMAL_SIZE): New macro.
(MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_BIG_SIZE): Likewise.
(_bfd_mips_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Use htab->function_stub_size
instead of MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_SIZE.
(count_section_dynsyms): New function, split out from
_bfd_mips_elf_final_link.
(_bfd_mips_elf_always_size_sections): Get a worst-case estimate
of the number of dynamic symbols needed and use it to set up
function_stub_size. Use function_stub_size rather than
MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_SIZE to determine the size of the stub section.
Use 16-byte stubs for 0x10000 dynamic symbols.
(_bfd_mips_elf_size_dynamic_sections): Use htab->function_stub_size
instead of MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_SIZE. Fix formatting.
(_bfd_mips_elf_finish_dynamic_symbol): Likewise. Change the
size of the stub buffer from MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_MAX_SIZE to
MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_BIG_SIZE. Tweak the check for unhandled dynindxes.
Use MIPS_FUNCTION_STUB_BIG_SIZE rather than a hard-coded 20.
Use STUB_ORI rather than STUB_LI16U for big stubs.
(_bfd_mips_elf_link_hash_table_create): Initialize function_stub_size.
(_bfd_mips_elf_final_link): Use count_section_dynsyms.

README for LD
This is the GNU linker. It is distributed with other "binary
utilities" which should be in ../binutils. See ../binutils/README for
more general notes, including where to send bug reports.
There are many features of the linker:
* The linker uses a Binary File Descriptor library (../bfd)
that it uses to read and write object files. This helps
insulate the linker itself from the format of object files.
* The linker supports a number of different object file
formats. It can even handle multiple formats at once:
Read two input formats and write a third.
* The linker can be configured for cross-linking.
* The linker supports a control language.
* There is a user manual (ld.texinfo), as well as the
beginnings of an internals manual (ldint.texinfo).
Installation
============
See ../binutils/README.
If you want to make a cross-linker, you may want to specify
a different search path of -lfoo libraries than the default.
You can do this by setting the LIB_PATH variable in ./Makefile
or using the --with-lib-path configure switch.
To build just the linker, make the target all-ld from the top level
directory (one directory above this one).
Porting to a new target
=======================
See the ldint.texinfo manual.
Reporting bugs etc
===========================
See ../binutils/README.
Known problems
==============
The Solaris linker normally exports all dynamic symbols from an
executable. The GNU linker does not do this by default. This is
because the GNU linker tries to present the same interface for all
similar targets (in this case, all native ELF targets). This does not
matter for normal programs, but it can make a difference for programs
which try to dlopen an executable, such as PERL or Tcl. You can make
the GNU linker export all dynamic symbols with the -E or
--export-dynamic command line option.
HP/UX 9.01 has a shell bug that causes the linker scripts to be
generated incorrectly. The symptom of this appears to be "fatal error
- scanner input buffer overflow" error messages. There are various
workarounds to this:
* Build and install bash, and build with "make SHELL=bash".
* Update to a version of HP/UX with a working shell (e.g., 9.05).
* Replace "(. ${srcdir}/scripttempl/${SCRIPT_NAME}.sc)" in
genscripts.sh with "sh ${srcdir}..." (no parens) and make sure the
emulparams script used exports any shell variables it sets.
