[RFC PATCH] Link the bootwrapper as a position-independent executable

Wed Aug 6 15:40:29 EST 2008
This changes the way we make the boot wrapper position-independent.
Before we just added the offset (the difference between runtime
address and link address) to each entry in the .got2 section. That
doesn't relocate pointer values in initialized variables and arrays.
Instead we now link the bootwrapper with -pie to get a position-
independent executable, and process the relocations in the dynamic
relocation section that the linker puts into the executable. This
means that initialized variables and arrays get relocated properly.
Currently we only process R_PPC_RELATIVE relocations, which is all we
get provided C files are compiled with -fPIC (which they are already)
and assembly code is written to be position-independent. Some of the
changes below are to make parts of crt0.S be PIC code (i.e. generate
no relocations other than R_PPC_RELATIVE).
The relocation code below does nothing if there is no dynamic section,
which means that we can link without -pie and it will work provided
that the bootwrapper executable is loaded at its linked-at address.
