Hmm.. that means we need to check the reloc types? It seems the
binutils treats R_ARM_THM_PC22 as R_ARM_THM_CALL.
in /usr/include/elf.h:
#define R_ARM_SBREL32 9
#define R_ARM_THM_PC22 10 /* PC relative 24 bit (Thumb32 BL). */
#define R_ARM_THM_PC8 11 /* PC relative & 0x3FC
in binutils-gdb/include/elf/arm.h:
RELOC_NUMBER (R_ARM_SBREL32, 9)
RELOC_NUMBER (R_ARM_THM_CALL, 10)
RELOC_NUMBER (R_ARM_THM_PC8, 11)
So following patch (untested) works for you?
Thanks,
