<span class="samp">relocation truncated to fit</span> errors with very large programs. 
 |

<span class="samp">--relax</span> enables the generation of trampolines that can access

the entire 32-bit address space.  These trampolines are inserted at

section boundaries, so may not themselves be reachable if an input

<dl><dt><span class="option">--bss-plt</span><dd>Current PowerPC GCC accepts a <span class="samp">-msecure-plt</span> option that
 | 
						|
generates code capable of using a newer PLT and GOT layout that has
 | 
						|
the security advantage of no executable section ever needing to be
 | 
						|
writable and no writable section ever being executable.  PowerPC
 | 
						|
<span class="command">ld</span> will generate this layout, including stubs to access the
 | 
						|
PLT, if all input files (including startup and static libraries) were
 | 
						|
compiled with <span class="samp">-msecure-plt</span>.  <span class="samp">--bss-plt</span> forces the old
 | 
						|
BSS PLT (and GOT layout) which can give slightly better performance.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
     <p><a name="index-_002d_002dsecure_002dplt-572"></a><br><dt><span class="option">--secure-plt</span><dd><span class="command">ld</span> will use the new PLT and GOT layout if it is linking new
 | 
						|
<span class="samp">-fpic</span> or <span class="samp">-fPIC</span> code, but does not do so automatically
 | 
						|
when linking non-PIC code.  This option requests the new PLT and GOT
 | 
						|
layout.  A warning will be given if some object file requires the old
 | 
						|
style BSS PLT.
 | 
						|

     <p><a name="index-PowerPC-GOT-573"></a><a name="index-_002d_002dsdata_002dgot-574"></a><br><dt><span class="option">--sdata-got</span><dd>The new secure PLT and GOT are placed differently relative to other
 | 
						|
sections compared to older BSS PLT and GOT placement.  The location of
 | 
						|
<code>.plt</code> must change because the new secure PLT is an initialized
 | 
						|
section while the old PLT is uninitialized.  The reason for the
 | 
						|
<code>.got</code> change is more subtle:  The new placement allows
 | 
						|
<code>.got</code> to be read-only in applications linked with
 | 
						|
<span class="samp">-z relro -z now</span>.  However, this placement means that
 | 
						|
<code>.sdata</code> cannot always be used in shared libraries, because the
 | 
						|
PowerPC ABI accesses <code>.sdata</code> in shared libraries from the GOT
 | 
						|
pointer.  <span class="samp">--sdata-got</span> forces the old GOT placement.  PowerPC
 | 
						|
GCC doesn't use <code>.sdata</code> in shared libraries, so this option is
 | 
						|
really only useful for other compilers that may do so.
