The generic-abi thread has gone into broader subjects of the benefits and desireability of the work. I'm willing to take it as given that the encoded size of pure-relative address relocs (i.e. R_*_RELATIVE equivalents)--ultimately the RODATA segment size of a given ET_DYN file--as sole metric is a worthy goal and the ballpark savings ratios we're seeing are worth committing to a new ABI. But I am circumspect about choosing an encoding we will be supporting for decades to come. Whatever we do no...

This one is the most critical for my app, but also possibly the most controversial to integrate. A few applications that convert isolinux ISOs to bootable USB, including mine, copy the ISO content to a VFAT formatted partition and then add syslinux to make it bootable. This would work great... if isolinux and syslinux shared the same defaults when it comes to configuration files.
