498/* A linker order of type bfd_section_reloc_link_order or
499 bfd_symbol_reloc_link_order means to create a reloc against a
500 section or symbol, respectively. This is used to implement -Ur to
501 generate relocs for the constructor tables. The
502 bfd_link_order_reloc structure describes the reloc that BFD should
503 create. It is similar to a arelent, but I didn't use arelent
504 because the linker does not know anything about most symbols, and
505 any asymbol structure it creates will be partially meaningless.
506 This information could logically be in the bfd_link_order struct,
507 but I didn't want to waste the space since these types of relocs
508 are relatively rare. */
