--- Comment #3 from Jonas Maebe <jonas.maebe at elis dot ugent.be> ---
While I would personally agree with your interpretation of the ARM ELF ABI and
would consider this a linker bug, ARM themselves have an Application Note in
which they say that dynamic R_ARM_ABS32 relocations are perfectly fine:
http://infocenter.arm.com/help/index.jsp?topic=/com.arm.doc.dai0242a/BCGHDBCB.html
Quote (emphasis mine):
"
... When the ELF object, generated from this example code, is statically linked
with the shared library (Example 7.2) that defines bar and x, a dynamic
relocation section, .dyn, is generated in the executable image, for example:
** Section #5 '.dyn' (SHT_REL)
Size : 16 bytes (alignment 4)
Symbol table #3 '.dynsym'
2 relocations applied to section #0 '[Anonymous Section]'
# Offset Relocation Type Wrt Symbol Defined in
0 0x0000800C 2 R_ARM_ABS32 2 bar Ref
1 0x00008024 2 R_ARM_ABS32 3 x Ref
The relocation type added to the image is R_ARM_ABS32 (relocation number 2 from
section 4.6.18 of the ABI ELF for the ARM Architecture document). This is an
ARM absolute 32-bit relocation, which is commonly found in static *and dynamic*
relocation sections.
...
At load or run-time the dynamic linker might load the shared library into
memory, if it is required by the application or another shared library
(module).
