Re: ELF/x86 as error message


   From: hjl@nynexst.com (H.J. Lu)
   Date: Fri, 30 Sep 94 1:16:15 EDT

   # gcc-elf -c loop.s
   loop.s: Assembler messages:
   loop.s:5: Error: Can not do 1 byte pc-relativerelocation

   Any reason for ELF/x86 as to do that?

In gas/config/tc-i386.c, the `reloc' function tests for OBJ_ELF, and
shouldn't.  The 8- and 16-bit relocations should always be generated.
In the case of ELF, they should always be eliminated before object
file generation, but that happens at a later stage.

And in the error message generated in that function, "pc-relative"
should have a space after it. :-)
