   5 Subject: [trunk + 3.4-branch RFA] don't use empic relocs for mips-linuxeh
   6
   7 This patch changes mips-linux to avoid using embedded-pic relocs for
   8 its eh data.  (Support for generating these for new code is removed in
   9 current binutils srcs.)
  10
  11 Relating to this, previously, mips-linux and mips64-linux would use
  12 different representations for their EH data (even for mips64-linux o32
  13 abi), due to the mips64-linux n32/64 BFDs not supporting the
  14 embedded-pic relocs.  This was a bug.
  15
  16 For more explanation, see the thread of the URL quoted in the comment
  17 in linux.h.

  20 Tested the same w/ sources of about a week ago for c/c++ for
  21 mips-linux (native) before/after.  Also verified .o compatibility
  22 before/after just to be sure.
  23
  24 I'd like this approved for the branch as well, so 3.4.1 will work
  25 nicely w/ the next major binutils release.
