x86-64 psABI has name@GOT: specifies the offset to the GOT entry for the symbol name from the base of the GOT.
name@GOTPLT: specifies the offset to the GOT entry for the symbol name from the base of the GOT, implying that there is a corresponding PLT entry. But GCC never generates name@GOTPLT and assembler fails to assemble it: [hjl@gnu-6 pr17598]$ cat x.S movabs $foo@GOTPLT,%rax [hjl@gnu-6 pr17598]$ gcc -c x.S x.S: Assembler messages: x.S:1: Error: relocated field and relocation type differ in signedness [hjl@gnu-6 pr17598]$ It certainly isn't needed on data symbols. I couldn't find any possible usage for this relocation on function symbols. Does anyone remember what it was supposed to be used for? -- H.J.
