	Proposed by Thomas Bushnell <thomas@gnu.ai.mit.edu>.

1997-03-21 13:41  Roland McGrath  <roland@baalperazim.frob.com>

	* sysdeps/sparc/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_rel): Rewritten as for i386.
	Check here for non-SHN_UNDEF STB_LOCAL symbols don't do any lookup or
	consult their values.
	(elf_machine_lookup_noexec_p, elf_machine_lookup_noplt_p,
	ELF_MACHINE_RELOC_NOPLT): New macros.

	* elf/rtld.c (dl_main): Pass ELF_MACHINE_RELOC_NOPLT to
	_dl_lookup_symbol in place of DL_LOOKUP_NOPLT.
	* sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h (ELF_MACHINE_RELOC_NOPLT): New macro.

	* sysdeps/i386/dl-machine.h (elf_machine_rel): Rewritten to do the
	symbol lookup before checking reloc type except for R_386_RELATIVE.
	(elf_machine_lookup_noexec_p, elf_machine_lookup_noplt_p): New macros.

	* elf/dl-reloc.c (RESOLVE): Remove STB_LOCAL check; let it be
	per-machine since it supposedly can't happen on i386.

	* elf/dl-lookup.c (do_lookup): Change arg FLAGS to RELOC_TYPE.  Use
	elf_machine_lookup_{noexec,noplt}_p macros on it.  Remove gratuitous
	indirection from REF arg; change callers.
	(_dl_lookup_symbol, _dl_lookup_versioned_symbol): Change arg name.
	(_dl_lookup_symbol_skip, _dl_lookup_versioned_symbol_skip): Remove
	FLAGS arg altogether.
	* elf/dlsym.c: Remove argument of FLAGS parameter.
	* elf/dlvsym.c: Likewise.
	* elf/link.h: Update decls.

	* Makefile (distribute): Add BUGS.
