modpost: Update 64k section support for binutils 2.18.50
Binutils 2.18.50 made a backwards-incompatible change in the way it writes ELF objects with over 65280 sections, to improve conformance with the ELF specification and interoperability with other ELF tools. Specifically, it no longer adds 256 to section indices SHN_LORESERVE and higher to skip over the reserved range SHN_LORESERVE through SHN_HIRESERVE; those values are only considered special in the st_shndx field, and not in other places where section indices are stored. See: http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=5900 http://groups.google.com/group/generic-abi/browse_thread/thread/e8bb63714b072e67/6c63738f12cc8a17 Signed-off-by: Anders Kaseorg <andersk@ksplice.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>
