Perhaps this is too technical to ask on the help list, but I'll give
it a shot before posting on the dev list...
I would like to know how the data in the eh_frame section is used
during runtime, and why the section changes based on the presence/
absence of the -r flag. (the data section does not change in terms
of size or layout between the two products, however the eh_frame
section does, and this throws off my extraction of relocation table
information; I'm targeting MIPS with elf-format output)
thanks,

FYI, This is related to my previous question:
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2007-04/msg00142.html
where I'm trying to figure out how to extract the relocation table
information so that I can use gcc 3.4+ on my vendor's embedded platform.
