Hi Rich,
Thanks for Your mail
I have ported musl for mips64 arch from porting guide.the list
includes crt_arch.h
and Now I didn't place crt assembly files for mips64 arch.

this change resolved some of the relocation type errors but still i am
getting some relocation type errors.I think these errors are from do_relocs
()
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611
;
;
Error relocating libc.so: unsupported relocation type 4611

the relocation type value is 4611 for all the errors.

I have ported reloc.h for mips64 as

*bash-3.2$ cat arch/mips64/reloc.h*
#include <endian.h>

#if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
#define ENDIAN_SUFFIX "el"
#else
#define ENDIAN_SUFFIX ""
#endif

#ifdef __mips64_soft_float
#define FP_SUFFIX "-sf"
#else
#define FP_SUFFIX ""
#endif

#define LDSO_ARCH "mips64" ENDIAN_SUFFIX FP_SUFFIX

#define TPOFF_K (-0x7000)

*#define REL_SYM_OR_REL  R_MIPS_64         /*I didn't see R_MIPS_REL64  so
It is a composition of R_MIPS_64 and R_MIPS_REL relocations but i didn't
see R_MIPS_REL in elf.h. *
*
 how can i define REL_SYM_OR_REL for mips n64 abi   */*
#define REL_PLT         R_MIPS_JUMP_SLOT
#define REL_COPY        R_MIPS_COPY
#define REL_DTPMOD      R_MIPS_TLS_DTPMOD64
#define REL_DTPOFF      R_MIPS_TLS_DTPREL64
#define REL_TPOFF       R_MIPS_TLS_TPREL64
;
;
#define CRTJMP(pc,sp) __asm__ __volatile__( \
 "move $sp,%1 ; jr %0" : : "r"(pc), "r"(sp) : "memory" ) /* JR Rs  means
jump register PC <- Rs ,jump to the address in the rs*/

#define GETFUNCSYM(fp, sym, got) __asm__ ( \
 ".hidden " #sym "\n" \
 ".set push \n" \
 ".set noreorder \n" \
 " bal 1f \n" \
 "  nop \n" \
 " .gpdword . \n" \
 " .gpdword " #sym " \n" \
 "1:  ld %0, ($ra) \n" \
 " dsubu %0, $ra, %0 \n" \
 " ld $ra, 8($ra) \n" \
 " daddu %0, %0, $ra \n" \
 ".set pop \n" \
 : "=r"(*(fp)) : : "memory", "ra" )




Thanks,
Mahesh
