Hi Ying, Sorry I keep postponing this. I don't have access to a mips64le box, the cfarm only has 64bit big endian mips machines. But the part I am struggling with is the relocation data conversion needed in the mips64le case.

So to make progress could you split this part? Just a patch that adds the initial mips backend (and the libebl and libelfP.h parts). And another that introduces the libelf/elf_update and elf_getdata parts? Also could you take a look at CONTRIBUTING https://sourceware.org/cgit/elfutils/tree/CONTRIBUTING And provide a Signed-off-by line if you can/agree with that? Which MIPS variant(s) have you tested this against? Is it supposed to only work for mips64le? Or also maps64[be] and/or mips32 bits? Thanks, Mark
