5 Subject: [trunk + 3.4-branch RFA] don't use empic relocs for mips-linuxeh
6
7 This patch changes mips-linux to avoid using embedded-pic relocs for
8 its eh data. (Support for generating these for new code is removed in
9 current binutils srcs.)
10
11 Relating to this, previously, mips-linux and mips64-linux would use
12 different representations for their EH data (even for mips64-linux o32
13 abi), due to the mips64-linux n32/64 BFDs not supporting the
14 embedded-pic relocs. This was a bug.

16 For more explanation, see the thread of the URL quoted in the comment
17 in linux.h.

20 Tested the same w/ sources of about a week ago for c/c++ for
21 mips-linux (native) before/after. Also verified .o compatibility
22 before/after just to be sure.
23
24 I'd like this approved for the branch as well, so 3.4.1 will work
25 nicely w/ the next major binutils release.
