Subject: [PATCH] Cygwin: mkimport: implement AArch64 +/-4GB relocations
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Based on https://sourceware.org/pipermail/cygwin-patches/2025q3/014154.html
suggestion, this patch implements +/-4GB relocations for AArch64 in the mkimport
script by using adrp and ldr instructions. This change required update
in winsup\cygwin\mm\malloc_wrapper.cc where those instructions are
decoded to get target import address.
