it's done in latest ld -shared step. even a simple test example
generates a .rel.stab section... (simple function compiled and
linked to generate a .so file)
I got a quick look at its content... it's always a relative
relocation (like for a symbol global address), which in most
examples I've seen is set to 0...
another nice "feature" is that lots of libraries also have
the .rel.stab, so it seems to come also from the distro itself
(even if I goofed somehow with my setup)
I'll dig further
anyway, I don't think removing the .rel.stab is a big deal. the
current debugger code doesn't use the address of a global symbol
in .stab section, but rather rely on the ELF information...
(but if we also start by removing the .rel.stab section, the
compilation scheme becomes more and more ugly)
A+
