I'm currently trying to create a more user-friendly (and > accurate) ABI document, but had not yet got to the relocation types... I think for the moment all typo fixed version of the old ABI document would already be great - and producable at minimal effort. In the longer run I'd be happy to see the 32-bit and 64-bit ABI documents unified as it was already happening on www.mipsabi.org when the site and the MIPS ABI group was shutdown; I think I did save the few bits I was able to save. Btw - www.mipsabi.org is on air again. But this time it's a porn site. I may be tolerant but imho that's really a trademark case for the lawyers. Ralf
