I thought I had already submitted this as part of #365 but it looks like I did not. If the comment is too noisy just go ahead and close this unmerged. |
This commit also includes a link to the best source I could find for what DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL is supposed to be, an exact copy-paste of the text found there, and step-by-step algebra for deriving the formula used by the code. Hopefully this means that this is the end of the DT_MIPS_RLD_MAP_REL headaches.
