Subject: Re: linker doesn't recognize an ELF library.

Thanks. That has allowed me to locate the problem. The libbug.so.CC
file has a section named .exception_ranges which has an link value of
0xFF00. Normally the link value should be a valid index into the
section table in the ELF binary, and the BFD library was detecting this
discrepancy and treating the file as invalid. The bug however was that
certain other special values are allowed in the index field. Namely
values in the range of SHN_LOPROC (0xFF00) to SHN_HIOS (0xFF3F).
So please could you try out the uploaded patch which I hope will correct
the problem. It certainly works for me using libbug.so.CC file that you
supplied.
Cheers
Nick
