"Non-code call target" warning on all calls to external functions

[JJJollyjim]

I'm looking at some binaries on an embedded Linux ppc device. Across all binaries and libraries I've checked out, all call sites to external functions are marked with a "Non-code Branch" warning. The sites are all call instructions into .got_recovered_xxx sections, which are each 4 bytes long (though 8-byte-aligned), and show as all zeros in binaryninja. What is the correct behaviour here?

Sounds like either relocations aren't working or the load address for the binary isn't correct. From the section name I assume they are elf files?

[JJJollyjim]

Yep:

ELF 32-bit MSB executable, PowerPC or cisco 4500, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, interpreter /lib/ld-uClibc.so.0, no section header

More details provided in your slack DMs.

This is a combination of some issues with relocations affecting non-backed portions of segments, and some improvements that need to be made to automatic .got section creation.
