Hi Nick,
The current approach in BFD seems to be #1 above and I would like to get it changed to the #2. Given the issues with the VAX/ELF backend I'm not sure if the PLT stubs have already been used in actual software, raising binary compatibility concerns. If so, I would limit this change to Linux (regrettably creating an incompatible ELF flavour), otherwise I suggest it to be applied universally.
Comments?
I think that your idea is good. Since nobody else has commented on the issue of VAX PLT stubs, I would guess that they are not currently being used elsewhere and so it would be safe for you to make this change without worrying about backwards compatibility. Hence:
Thanks for your review (and all the others in this series of patches). We should have a couple of months left yet till 2.20, so I think there is enough time still left in case someone notices a problem with the change somewhere.
