descr

|
|
The first for PLT entries are reserved. There is some disagreement
|
|
|
|
|
whether they should have associated relocation entries. Both the
|
|
|
|
|
SPARC 32-bit and 64-bit ELF specifications say that they should have
|
|
|
|
|
relocation entries, but the 32-bit SPARC binutils do not generate
|
|
|
|
|
them, and now the 64-bit SPARC binutils have stopped generating them
|
|
|
|
|
too.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To provide binary compatibility, we will check the first entry, if it
|
|
|
|
|
is reserved it should not be of the type JMP_SLOT. If it is JMP_SLOT,
|
|
|
|
|
then the 4 reserved entries were not generated and our index is 4
|
|
|
|
|
entries too far, so we frob the rela pointer.

|

Without this hack, xterm will export a termcap containing the ZZ

entry, which will then be ignored by libterm. As xterm modifies the
|
|

exported termcap, this would cause those modifications to be ignored.
