Hi, all
I am linking the linux ppc kernel .
I found a symblo named 'SIZEOF_HEADERS' in the link script file
'vmlinux.lds'.
I wonder where the symbol come from.
I have searched throuth the source tree, but I can't find the definition of
it.
Who can tell me some info about it ? at least the value of it ?
thanks a lot .

BRs
Rolf Liu

Is this 'SIZEOF_HEADERS' just the size of the ELF header , which is 304 byte
long ?

Found in ld's info pages, section arithmetic functions :

`SIZEOF_HEADERS'
`sizeof_headers'
     Return the size in bytes of the output file's headers.  You can
     use this number as the start address of the first section, if you
     choose, to facilitate paging.
