// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// - IDA Pro Script -
// Name: gcc_fpic.idc
// By: Damaged Soul
// Desc: Add references for strings, variables, and other data that seem mangled
//       due to GCC's -fPIC option and the .got section of an x86 ELF binary.
// 
// Version History
// 1.0 [2007-11-22]
//     - Initial Version
// 1.1 [2008-05-02]
//     - Now works with GCC 4.x compiled binaries
// 1.2 [2008-11-06]
//     - Now works with GCC 4.3 compiled binaries
//     - Fixed: Redefining alignment blocks as data caused IDA to pop up
//       an annoying warning
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
