								<p>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 <code>bfd_perform_relocation</code> acts upon the
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								canonical form to do the fixup.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>Relocations are maintained on a per section basis,
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								while symbols are maintained on a per BFD basis.
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								   <p>All that a back end has to do to fit the BFD interface is to create
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								a <code>struct reloc_cache_entry</code> for each relocation
							 | 
						||
| 
								 | 
							
								in a particular section, and fill in the right bits of the structures.
