patch for bfd/coff64-rs6000.c
Hi!
I've just tried to compile OpenSSL-1.0.2d on an older AIX5.2 on Power5, but
failed, as AIX's own (very old) 'as' wouldn't compile Altivec-code.
GNU-as (from binutils-2.25) do support Altivec (with option -mpower5), but in
64-bit mode there is a little incompatibility, which prevents creating shared
library libcrypto.so: even though the object doesn't have relocation
information, AIX's ld still expects f_flags.F_RELFLG to be zero (meaning:
relocation information isn't *stripped* (only its length is zero))
This problem is handled in 32-bit mode (file bfd/coffcode.h lines 4216-4220),
but present in 64-bit mode (file bfd/coff64-rs6000.c). Suggested patch
attached.
Thank you for your attention.
