I see:
HOWTO (R_PPC_TLSLD,
0, /* rightshift */
2, /* size (0 = byte, 1 = short, 2 = long) */
32, /* bitsize */
FALSE, /* pc_relative */
0, /* bitpos */
complain_overflow_dont, /* complain_on_overflow */
bfd_elf_generic_reloc, /* special_function */
"R_PPC_TLSLD", /* name */
FALSE, /* partial_inplace */
0, /* src_mask */
0, /* dst_mask */
FALSE), /* pcrel_offset */
Can generic linker handle R_PPC_TLSLD?
