Ard Biesheuvel 088dc24508 BaseTools/GenFw RVCT: fix relocation processing of PT_DYNAMIC sections
Unlike GNU ld, which can be instructed to emit symbol based static
relocations into fully linked binaries using the --emit-relocs command
line switch, the RVCT armlink tool can only emit dynamic relocations
into the PT_DYNAMIC segment.

This has two consequences
. we can only identify absolute relocations, so there is no way to fix
  up relative relocations between sections, or check their validity in
  the PE/COFF layout
. the r_offset fields of the PT_DYNAMIC DT_REL entries are relative
  either to the base of the image or to any of its segments but *not* to
  the base of the input section that contains the location they refer
  to, and converting them to PE/COFF image offsets is non-trivial unless
  the sections are laid out in the same way in the ELF and PE/COFF
  versions of the binary.

There is really only one way to deal with this, and that is to require
that the ELF and PE/COFF versions of the binary are identical in memory.
So enforce that in the code.

Also, fix the utterly broken relocation fixup code that dereferences
ELF32_R_SYM(r_info) both as a 1-based program header index and a 0-based
section header index. If this code ever produced working binaries, it
was purely by chance.

This directory contains the next generation of EDK II build tools and template files.
Templates are located in the Conf directory, while the tools executables for
Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating Systems are located in the Bin\Win32 directory, other 
directory contatins tools source.

1. Build step to generate the binary tools.

=== Windows/Visual Studio Notes ===

To build the BaseTools, you should run the standard vsvars32.bat script.

In addition to this, you should set the following environment variables:

 * EDK_TOOLS_PATH - Path to the BaseTools sub directory under the edk2 tree
 * BASE_TOOLS_PATH - The directory where the BaseTools source is located.
   (It is the same directory where this README.txt is located.)
 * PYTHON_FREEZER_PATH - Path to where the python freezer tool is installed

After this, you can run the toolsetup.bat file, which is in the same
directory as this file.  It should setup the remainder of the environment,
and build the tools if necessary.

Please also refer to the 'BuildNotes.txt' file for more information on
building under Windows.

=== Unix-like operating systems ===

To build on Unix-like operating systems, you only need to type 'make' in
the base directory of the project.

=== Ubuntu Notes ===

On Ubuntu, the following command should install all the necessary build
packages to build all the C BaseTools:

  sudo apt-get install build-essential uuid-dev

=== Python sqlite3 module ===
On Windows, the cx_freeze will not copy the sqlite3.dll to the frozen 
binary directory (the same directory as build.exe and GenFds.exe). 
Please copy it manually from <PythonHome>\DLLs.

The Python distributed with most recent Linux will have sqlite3 module
built in. If not, please install sqlit3 package separately.
