Subject: 	* elfxx-mips.c (mips_elf_calculate_relocation): For R_MIPS_JALR,
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1367d393bb745062d59a988a408f36bbb326764d;p=binutils-gdb.git

	* elfxx-mips.c (mips_elf_calculate_relocation): For R_MIPS_JALR,
	return a real value, unless it is a PLT symbol.
	(mips_elf_perform_relocation): On the RM9000, turn a jal into a
	bal if possible.
