Hello folks,

I need information on how relocation and linking is done under DJGPP for
a project I am working on.
I have used the utility 'objdump' and I have read the include file 'coff.h' to
understand the format of the COFF file and I find that in the relocation part
of these files there are only entries for external symbols and data, how can
static and local declared symbols be relocated? May I have to scan all the
code to find where jump istructions (function calls and unconditional jumps)
are and modify the target address of the istructions? I dont think this is the
best way to do relocation (even DOS use a better approach :) )!

Please help me.
Reply via newsgroup and e-mail (I often miss some post). 
Thank you very much,
