When the clang plugin is used, building something during export needs to happen after the plugin is built. But there is no dependency ensuring this happens. OTOH, these sources in elfhack/inject don't need to be built that early, so we'll just leave to the build system to build it at a proper time. --HG-- extra : rebase_source : a6bef8ec6eece3a1b0e45f84c907c2fbc0800863 |

README
Elfhack is a program to optimize ELF binaries for size and cold startup speed. Presently, it is quite experimental, though it works well for the target it was created for: Firefox's libxul.so. Elfhack currently only does one thing: packing dynamic relocations ; which ends up being a quite complex task, that can be summarized this way: - Remove RELATIVE relocations from the .rel.dyn/.rela.dyn section. - Inject a small code able to apply relative relocations "by hand" after the .rel.dyn/.rela.dyn section. - Inject a section containing relocative relocations in a different and more packed format, after the small code. - Register the small code as DT_INIT function. Make the small code call what was initially the DT_INIT function, if there was one. - Remove the hole between the new section containing relative relocations and the following sections, adjusting offsets and base addresses accordingly. - Adjust PT_LOAD entries to fit new offsets, and add an additional PT_LOAD entry when that is necessary to handle the discrepancy between offsets and base addresses, meaning the section offsets may yet again need adjustments. - Adjust various DT_* dynamic tags to fit the new ELF layout. - Adjust section headers. - Adjust ELF headers. See http://glandium.org/blog/?p=1177#relocations for some figures.
