bfd: Relocations

 
 2.10 Relocations
 ================
 
 BFD maintains relocations in much the same way it maintains symbols:
 they are left alone until required, then read in en-masse and translated
 into an internal form.  A common routine 'bfd_perform_relocation' acts
 upon the canonical form to do the fixup.
 
    Relocations are maintained on a per section basis, while symbols are
 maintained on a per BFD basis.
 
    All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create a
 'struct reloc_cache_entry' for each relocation in a particular section,
 and fill in the right bits of the structures.
