For elf64-riscv with a .got.plt header: rp+0: -1, rp+1: -1, rp+2: 0, rp+3: 0 For elf32-riscv with a .got.plt header: rp+0: -1, rp+1: 0 At least riscv binutils 2.32, 2.37 and 2.38 all create a .got.plt header even when there are no .got.plt entries following the header. Even if the .got.plt section was empty, there will still be data in the .got section, so rp+0 will still not be -1. If there is no data in the .got section, then the _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ symbol will not be defined, so elf2flt will not set the FLAT_FLAG_GOTPIC flag. (This code is only executed if that flag is set.) Kind regards, Niklas
