Binutils has gained support for generating PLT32 relocations from AT&T assembly syntax directives, mirroring a feature previously supported by LLVM. This change enables the use of constructs like “.long foo@PLT - .L4”, allowing the assembler and linker to correctly resolve PC32 (Program Counter Relative 32-bit) relocations against function symbols by using the PLT. This improves compatibility and optimization options for x86 and x86-64 targets.
