missing ELF relocations

[Ganesh Sittampalam]

Hi,

I have an object file that I'd like to load with GHCi. It seems this 
object file has some relocations that Linker.c doesn't support - I get 
this message:

final link ... ghc-6.4: HSperl.o: unhandled ELF relocation(Rel) type 10

Looking in elf.h, type 10 is R_386_GOTPC, which appears repeatedly as

00017f76 R_386_GOTPC       _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_

The file also has relocations like this, which also seem to be cases not 
handled in Linker.c

00017fa9 R_386_GOTOFF      .LC11
00018096 R_386_PLT32       Perl_croak
000180cc R_386_GOT32       XS_DynaLoader_dl_load_file

Google suggests that someone else has already run into this problem while 
trying to use an object compiled with gcc stack protection. In my case, 
the object file I'm trying to link with is DynaLoader.o, contained in 
DynaLoader.a that comes with any Perl distribution.

Cheers,

Ganesh
