I am in process of switching over from motorola style compiler/linker to mit
style. Under the motorola style, I could put various pieces of program in
various linker sections, and then link them all together, specifying base
addresses for various sections.

I am using gcc-2.4.5/gas-2.1.1/binutils-2.2.1.

I try to do this:

/usr/local/sun3/bin/ld -o scan_nvram._tmp_ -dc -Tbss 500c0000 -r scan_nvram.o
mv scan_nvram._tmp_ scan_nvram.o

After this, the symbols in scan_nvram.o are where I want them to be.

Then I link the whole mess together, with a beginning offset for all of it:

/usr/local/sun3/bin/ld -o 901000.o -Ttext 30028000 /usr/users/bios/lib/begin.o
alloc.o all_print.o baud.o bkgnd.o bottch.o boxes.o clean.o clock.o color.o
ctrl.o ctrl_scr.o date.o err_recov.o events.o grid_calc.o inline.o kb_aux.o
keybd.o lang.o loc_init.o machine.o misc.o print.o prll.o process.o r_paint.o
rec1.o ram_init.o screen.o secur.o setup.o sf.o tach.o time.o touch.o trend.o
trlang.o trlang_sp.o units.o vreps.o all_mc.o composite.o grid.o magnon.o
7342.o scan_cal.o scan_eos.o scan_gage.o scan_nvram.o scan_preps.o
scan_reports.o scanner.o screen3.o setscan.o trend_plot.o zone.o zero.o
zero_sub.o hif.o hif_proto.o scan_hif.o defects.o streak.o streak_tsk.o asp.o
-R ./bios.o

However, this relocates the symbols in scan_nvram.o to somewhere else. I can't
quite figure out where. It's not the sum of the 2 offsets. It's not the end of
the bss + 500c0000. It's somewhere in between.

I need to be able to fix the address of this module, and then link it in with
the rest. I tried it without the -r:

/usr/local/sun3/bin/ld -o scan_nvram._tmp_ -dc -Tbss 500c0000 scan_nvram.o

But the results were the same. This is why I am posting this to utils.bug, on
the outside chance that this is a bug.

Now in this particular case the module contains uninitialized data, so I could
link it in with -R, but in general, this should be possible without it.

Any ideas?
