Unknown relocation type fix

[dok852]

Hey - I saw you had issues with generating certain .pat files.
To fix this you can add the "-rXX:0:0" flag to your command, where XX is the unknown relocation type number.

So if you were running ./pelf libc.a libc.pat and got the following error:

Fatal [libc.a] (init-first.o): Unknown relocation type 42 (section#=3, offset in section=0x1b9d000000000).

Your new command would be ./pelf libc.a -r42:0:0 libc.pat. You may have to do this several times before it works, but you can just add the same flag multiple times if so.

Hope this helps.

Oh Thanks much.
Then. Following your suggestion, I can generate pat file such powerpc, mips architecture?

[dok852]

Yes, you should be able to.

I encountered error.

 ../flair/pelf libc.a -r87:0:0 libc.pat
Fatal [libc.a] (sysdep.o): Unknown relocation type 87 (offset in section=0xa).

why is not worked?
