Re: Adjust relocation type secrel for w64 and fix base-file/dlltool functionality


Hi Kai,

The interesting point about this approach is, that we could get rid of the need to have relocations in debug-section and dwarf2 information at all and that 32-bit dwarf2 can be supported for w64, too.

Hmm, well my feeling is "if it ain't broke, don't fix it". The current method works right ? Even if it is not the best solution, I would prefer to keep it as introducing a new system is very likely to introduce new bugs.


Otherwise w64 has to use 64-bit dwarf2, which consumes much more space.

Surely the space restrictions on 64-bit systems are much less serious ? I.e. I would assume that any 64-bit system would have a large amount of memory - otherwise why use 64-bits ?


Cheers
  Nick
