The attached patch is a start at libiberty simple object support for AIX XCOFF file format. With this patch, the simple object API can read and write XCOFF files. I need to investigate a little more about the proper attributes for XCOFF sections written using sobj.
There are open questions about how to wedge GCC LTO support into the AIX XCOFF file format. I am unsure if LTO can be an additional section in the XCOFF file or should be new CSECTs in an existing section. Maybe CSECTs in the XCOFF comment section. * simple-object-xcoff.c: New file. * Makefile.in: Add it to build machinery. * simple-object-common.h (simple_object_xcoff_functions): Declare. * simple-object. (format_functions): Add simple_object_xcoff_functions. Bootstrapped on powerpc-ibm-aix7.1.0.0 Thanks, David
