Subject: bfd/elfcode.h change for size of entries in .hash section
Date: Thu, 29 Jun 2000 16:37:01 -0700
From: Jim Wilson <wilson@cygnus.com>

The ELF standard says that entries in the hash section are 4 bytes.  The
BFD default is ARCH_SIZE / 8, which makes it 8 bytes for 64-bit targets.
We've recently discovered that the IA-64 linux linker was accidentally using
8 byte entries which makes it incompatible with other ia64/elf systems.
This is about the 5th time that this problem has been run into (mips/sparc/
alpha/hppa/ia64).  Rather than override the default in elf64-ia64.c, I think
we should fix the default.  There is one system (alpha-linux) that relies on
the incorrect value of 8 and wants to continue using that value, so I've
added an override to elf64-alpha.c.  I believe no other target will be
affected.

This change should make the overrides in elf64-mips.c, elf64-sparc.c,
elf64-hppa.c unnecessary, but I haven't tried to remove them.

	* elf64-alpha.c (alpha_elf_size_info): New.
	(elf_backend_size_info): Define to alpha_elf_size_info.
	* elfcode.h (elf_size_info): Change hash bucket size to 4.
