+This patch adds support for more relocations in relocatable link.  It also
+introduces get_lo16_rel_addend method for finding partnering LO16 relocation
+because there is a problem with current implementation when using --threads
+option.
+
+Regards,
+Vladimir
+
+ChangeLog -
+
+	PR gold/21152
+	* target.h (Sized_target::relocate_special_relocatable): Add
+	reloc_count parameter.
+	* arm.cc (Target_arm::relocate_special_relocatable): Likewise.
+	* target-reloc.h (relocate_relocs): Pass reloc_count to
+	relocate_special_relocatable.
+	* mips.cc (Mips_scan_relocatable_relocs::local_section_strategy):
+	Return RELOC_SPECIAL for more relocations.
+	(Symbol_visitor_check_symbols::operator()): Check for is_output_pic
+	rather then checking output_is_position_independent option.
+	(Target_mips::is_output_pic): New method.
+	(Mips_relocate_functions::get_lo16_rel_addend): Likewise.
+	(Target_mips::set_gp): Add case for relocatable link.
+	(Target_mips::relocate_special_relocatable): Add reloc_count
+	parameter.  Add support for RELA type of relocation sections.
+	Add support for more relocations.  Remove unused code.

+This patch improves relocation overflow errors.
+Depends on https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2017-03/msg00146.html.
+
+Regards,
+Vladimir
+
+ChangeLog -
+
+	* mips.cc (Target_mips::Relocate::relocate): Improve relocation
+	overflow error message.
+	(Target_mips::relocate_special_relocatable): Likewise.
+	(Mips_relocate_functions::rel26): Don't print relocation overflow
+	error message.
+Upstream-Status: Backport
