(Support for generating these for new code is removed in current binutils srcs.) Relating to this, previously, mips-linux and mips64-linux would use different representations for their EH data (even for mips64-linux o32 abi), due to the mips64-linux n32/64 BFDs not supporting the embedded-pic relocs. This was a bug. For more explanation, see the thread of the URL quoted in the comment in linux.h. Tested the same w/ sources of about a week ago for c/c++ for mips-linux (native) before/after. Also verified .o compatibility before/after just to be sure. I'd like this approved for the branch as well, so 3.4.1 will work nicely w/ the next major binutils release. thanks, chris 2004-06-13 Chris Demetriou * config/mips/linux.h (ASM_PREFERRED_EH_DATA_FORMAT): Redefine to return DW_EH_PE_absptr.
