/* When performing a partial link, some formats must modify the
relocations rather than the data - this flag signals this.*/
/* Some formats record a relocation addend in the section contents
rather than with the relocation. For ELF formats this is the
distinction between USE_REL and USE_RELA (though the code checks
for USE_REL == 1/0). The value of this field is TRUE if the
addend is recorded with the section contents; when performing a
partial link (ld -r) the section contents (the data) will be
modified. The value of this field is FALSE if addends are
recorded with the relocation (in arelent.addend); when performing
a partial link the relocation will be modified.
All relocations for all ELF USE_RELA targets should set this field
to FALSE (values of TRUE should be looked on with suspicion).
However, the converse is not true: not all relocations of all ELF
USE_REL targets set this field to TRUE. Why this is so is peculiar
to each particular target. For relocs that aren't used in partial
links (e.g. GOT stuff) it doesn't matter what this is set to. */
