Hello, It seems that Android uses the gnu-ld, linker version 2.17 for both arm and i686. Is there any reason to use this version for Android ?
More later version,e.g. 2.17.50.0.X of gnu-ld has the support of GNU-style hash, which gives much quicker relocation time in the runtime loader, especially for the binaries which use many libraries with many symbols. So, I think using the GNU-style hash for Android may give the better performance of the runtime boot. (Note that using this hash requires the additional implementation of bionic linker) Thank you very much. -- Hoegaarden --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ unsubscribe: [email protected] website: http://groups.google.com/group/android-porting -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
