SubjectRe: [PATCH 00/11] RISC-V: Resolve the issue of loadable module on 64-bit
Date
Hello!

You may be interested in my recent patchset [1], which has known issues
but addresses the same problems yours does. It differs in the approach
taken here in that, rather than supporting GOT/PLT handling which we
can't really take advantage of anyway, we simply build non-PIC modules
instead [2]. Additionally, I see your patchset has the same concern mine
does, which is that ignoring ALIGN relaxations is not actually an option
[3]. The approach I plan to take is outlined by Palmer at [4].

As of now I hope to get back to my patchset this weekend, but if you're
close to a complete implementation by then maybe I can avoid duplicating
the work ;)

Thanks,
Shea
