About the hppa function ptr fp argument relocation problem

[Randolph Chung]

Just a bit more info about this problem.

After tracing through the binutils code a bit I see that gas does parse
the .CALL info in the input asm and fill in the info into the arg_reloc
member of call_desc. However, the bfd library does not use
this info to generate the appropriate argument relocation stubs.

Looking into binutils cvs I see that the very original code in cvs
(bfd/elf32-hppa.c) did have some arg relocation support, but that was 
subsequently removed (inadvertently?) in the 1.2->1.3 checkin with various 
cleanups.
