Remaining CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC
Hi guys.
I've been pondering if the CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC is getting away from MIPS/NDS32/AVR32/Sparc/M68K any soon. We've been having relocation around for a while, yet these platforms still don't support it. Currently, the MANUAL_RELOC only bloats code all around and usually breaks things that can be nicely cleaned up.
So guys, can you please share your roadmaps for this issue?
Thanks in advance for your reply!
Best regards,
Marek Vasut

I started playing around with 'elf relocation' for avr32 beginning this year when I first saw this dlmalloc relocation warning about aliasing. But this is not yet finished and disregarded since then.

I see your point.

I will again look into this later this year. On my roadmap are two major things.
a) SPL for AT91 to remove the need for AT91bootstrap
b) relocation for AVR32
But sorry, I can not give you a schedule for these features.

Understood, it'd be cool to have the reloc in place really quick, as I'd be able to clean up stdio a bit more.
Thanks for your reply Andreas!

I already have it on my todo list for the next months. Unfortunately I can't give you a schedule.
