From cd88adf8add21ce1c73cbf665e80244c44c05d98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 18 May 2012 09:52:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86, relocs: When printing an error, say relative or absolute commit 24ab82bd9bf18f3efc69a131d73577940941e1b7 upstream. When the relocs tool throws an error, let the error message say if it is an absolute or relative symbol. This should make it a lot more clear what action the programmer needs to take and should help us find the reason if additional symbol bugs show up. Signed-off-by: H.
