Maciej W. Rozycki ceab86af75 MIPS/BFD: Fix section symbol name fetching in relocation
Symbol table entries for section symbols are different between IRIX and
traditional MIPS ELF targets in that IRIX entries have their `st_name'
member pointing at the section's name in the string table section, while
traditional entries have 0 there and the section header string table has
to be referred via the relevant section header's `shn_name' member
instead.

This is chosen with the `elf_backend_name_local_section_symbols' backend
and can be observed with `readelf -s' output for an IRIX object:

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 12 entries:
   Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
     0: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND
     1: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 .text
     2: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    3 .data
     3: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    4 .bss
     4: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    5 .reginfo
     5: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    6 .MIPS.abiflags
     6: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    7 .pdr
     7: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    9 .gnu.attributes
     8: 00002000    16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 foo
     9: 00004008     0 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 abar
    10: 00002008     0 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 afoo
    11: 00004000    16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 bar

and a corresponding traditional object:

Symbol table '.symtab' contains 12 entries:
   Num:    Value  Size Type    Bind   Vis      Ndx Name
     0: 00000000     0 NOTYPE  LOCAL  DEFAULT  UND
     1: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    1
     2: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    3
     3: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    4
     4: 00004008     0 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 abar
     5: 00002008     0 FUNC    LOCAL  DEFAULT    1 afoo
     6: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    5
     7: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    6
     8: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    7
     9: 00000000     0 SECTION LOCAL  DEFAULT    9
    10: 00002000    16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 foo
    11: 00004000    16 FUNC    GLOBAL DEFAULT    1 bar

respectively.  Consequently the right way to retrieve a section symbol's
name has to be chosen in `mips_elf_calculate_relocation' for the purpose
of error reporting.

Originally we produced symbol tables in the traditional object format
only and we handled it correctly until it was lost in a rewrite with:

commit 7403cb6305
Author: Mark Mitchell <mark@codesourcery.com>
Date:   Wed Jun 30 20:13:43 1999 +0000

probably because of the extra pointer indirection added which made the
same expression have a different meaning.

With the addition of IRIX symbol table format with:

commit 174fd7f955
Author: Richard Sandiford <rdsandiford@googlemail.com>
Date:   Mon Feb 9 08:04:00 2004 +0000

the bug has been partially covered and now when a relocation error is
triggered with an IRIX object the offending section symbol is correctly
reported:

tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x2000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `.text'
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `bar':
(.text+0x4000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `.text'

because `bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section' retrieves the name from the
string table section.  With a traditional object however the function
returns an empty string and consequently `no symbol' is printed instead:

tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `foo':
(.text+0x2000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `no symbol'
tmpdir/dump0.o: In function `bar':
(.text+0x4000): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_26 against `no symbol'

Restore the original semantics so that the section name is always
correctly retrieved.

	section name if `bfd_elf_string_from_elf_section' returns an
	empty string.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by
the Free Software Foundation, Inc.  See the file COPYING or
COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the
GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files.

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
