+* Writing out ELF files is close to working but the following needs to
+ be examined more closely:
+ - ELF files are written with the wrong E_MACHINE value because
+ ELFObjectWriter::WriteHeader function does not yet support
+ target specific E_MACHINE values.
+ - ELF relocation records are incorrect because the function
+ ELFObjectWriter::RecordRelocation is hard coded for X86/X86-64.
+ - Relocations use 2-byte / 4-byte to terminology in reference to
+ the size of the immediate value being changed. The Xilinx
+ terminology seems to be (???) 4-byte / 8-byte in reference
+ to the number of bytes of instructions that are being changed.
+ - BRLID and like instructions are always assumed to use a 4-byte
+ immediate value for the relocation and BEQID and like instructions
+ are always assumed to use a 2-byte immediate value for the relocation.
+ I think this means that conditional branches like BEQID can only
+ branch += 32768 bytes (~8192 instructions). We should allow conditional
+ branches to use 4-byte relocations but I'm not sure how to do that
+ right now.
+
+* Code generation seems to work relatively well now but the following
+ needs to be examined more closely:
+ - The stack layout needs to be examined to make sure it meets
+ the standard, especially in regards to var arg functions.
+ - The delay slot filler is ad hoc but seems to work. Load and
+ store instructions were prevented from being moved to delay
+ slots but I'm not sure that is necessary.
