$ /opt/arc-gnu/bin/arc-elf32-gcc -o hello.o -c hello.c
$ /opt/arc-gnu/bin/arc-elf32-readelf -r hello.o

Relocation section '.rela.text' at offset 0x1b0 contains 2 entries:
  Offset     Info    Type            Sym.Value  Sym. Name + Addend
00000016  0000051b R_ARC_32_ME       00000000   .rodata + 0
0000001a  00000a11 R_ARC_S25W_PCREL  00000000   puts + 0

then I could implement some ARC relocation at first.

I filled the form for simulator 4 days ago, but still no reply yet...
