Yes.

It is part of my earlier fix. There are certain fixups that don't
have a symbol associated with them. In that case, the original
code referenced a dummy symbol. I changed that to the symbol_get_bfdsym()
call below.
*** 2886,2892 ****
case R_ENTRY:
case R_EXIT:
/* There is no symbol associated with these fixups. */
! relocs[i]->sym_ptr_ptr = &dummy_symbol->bsym;
relocs[i]->addend = fixp->fx_offset;
break;
--- 2893,2900 ----
case R_ENTRY:
case R_EXIT:
/* There is no symbol associated with these fixups. */
! relocs[i]->sym_ptr_ptr = (asymbol **) xmalloc (sizeof (asymbol *));
! *relocs[i]->sym_ptr_ptr = symbol_get_bfdsym (dummy_symbol);
relocs[i]->addend = fixp->fx_offset;
break;
That in turn is causing tc_gen_reloc() to be invoked within write_relocs()
and voila!
So, did I make a wrong assumption here, or should set_symtab be delayed
until after the bfd_map_over_sections (stdoutput, write_relocs, (char *) 0) ?
