Hi Prafulla,

Solution as per our understanding: We will Change the ABI number in the object file to indicate the relocation scheme used.

This is the correct approach.

Also we are exploring the possibility of linking objects with different relocation schemes together. Can anybody suggest how feasible is to modify present linker to link objects with different relocation scheme

> at the same time?

This should be possible. You may find that you cannot support the --emit-relocs switch since you would not be able to label the output file as containing both old and new ABI relocs.

Cheers
  Nick
