Define a new ABSOLUTE ABI for static linker's use with EI_ABIVERSION where correct absolute (SHN_ABS) symbol run-time load semantics is required. This way it can be ensured at static link time that a program or DSO will not suffer from previous semantics where absolute symbols were relocated by the base address, or symbols whose `st_value' is zero silently ignored leading to a confusing "undefined symbol" error message at load time, and instead "ELF file ABI version invalid" is printed with old dynamic loaders, making it clear that there is an ABI version incompatibility.

Major new features:
|
||||
|
||||
* The GNU C Library now has correct support for ABSOLUTE symbols
|
||||
(SHN_ABS-relative symbols). Previously such ABSOLUTE symbols were
|
||||
relocated incorrectly or in some cases discarded. The GNU linker can
|
||||
make use of the newer semantics, but it must communicate it to the
|
||||
dynamic loader by setting the ELF file's identification (EI_ABIVERSION
|
||||
field) to indicate such support is required.
|
||||
|
||||
* Unicode 11.0.0 Support: Character encoding, character type info, and
|
||||
transliteration tables are all updated to Unicode 11.0.0, using
|
||||
generator scripts contributed by Mike FABIAN (Red Hat).
