Hi,
in the patch
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2002-07/msg00036.html
you disallowed non-pc-rel relocs to merge sections for both 31-bit and 64-bit
S/390.
But the comment there references only unspecific 31-bit problems.
Is it safe to permit again the non-pc-rel relocs at least on 64-bit s/390?
Linux kernel built with this patch runs fine but not sure about other programs.
The patch reduces s390x Linux kernel rpms size base+debuginfo 25M+66M -> 6M+60M.
(Some of the info was found by Jakub Jelinek.)
Regards,
Jan
