            Bug ID: 19717
           Summary: bfd/elflink.c does not handle octets_per_byte
                    properly, line 7956
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.25
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: dgisselq at ieee dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

There are several "FIXME" lines within bfd/elflink.c outlining how bfd does not
properly support ELF files where octets per byte is not 1.  I'm currently
working on a port that relies on octets per byte being 4, not 1.  Each of these
fixme's therefore notes a problem with bfd/elflink.c.

This bug references line 7956 of bfd/elflink.c in 2.25, where the offset in the
relocatable rel->r_offset, is in target byte units whereas the contents are in
file octet units.  Fixing this requires multiplying the r_offset field by the
bfd_octets_per_byte value.
