R_MIPS_26 etc.

["yaelgilad" <yaelgilad@myrealbox.com>]

Looking in the assembly code of my driver, I see the following

pattern repeating with every function call.

    4ce4: 0c000000  jal 0 

      4ce4: R_MIPS_26 rx_wait_packet

(R_MIPS_26 is sometimes replaces by a similar command)
What is R_MIPS_26 ? What are the rest of them ?

I am guessing it has to do with relocatable addresses, but this specific

function is in the same C file. Marking it as "static" does change the code

and get rid of this command.

P.S. I am building assembler files in two different methods:

- gmake <path-to-file>.lst

- mips-linux-odjdump -x -S <path-to-C-file>  > <path-to-file.lst>

The outputs are similar but not identical.

What's the more "correct" way ?
