Bug fixes and compatibility improvements
- Previously, linking with the
-z pack-relative-relocsoption produces an executable that glibc 2.38 refuses to run withDT_RELR without GLIBC_ABI_DT_RELR dependencyerror. Now, mold produces binaries compatible with glibc 2.38. (f467ad1) - [ARM64]
R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21_NCrelocation type has been supported. (17a5c3e) - [ARM64]
R_AARCH64_MOVW_UABS_G3relocation type has now been handled as a PLT-generating relocation to fix an issue when main is not defined in the main executable but rather in a .so file. (e764557) - [RISC-V] We now merge input
.riscv.attributescontents. Previously, we just concatenated them. (aa64491)
