We now correctly implement exporting decls. This means it is possible to export a decl with a different name than the decl that is doing the export. This also sets the symbols with the correct flags, so when we emit a relocatable object file, a linker can correctly resolve symbols and/or export the symbol to the host environment. This commit also includes fixes to ensure relocations have the correct offset to how other linkers will expect the offset, rather than what we use internally. Other linkers accept the offset, relative to the section. Internally we use an offset relative to the atom.

License
The ultimate goal of the Zig project is to serve users. As a first-order effect, this means users of the compiler, helping programmers to write better software. Even more important, however, are the end-users.
Zig is intended to be used to help end-users accomplish their goals. Zig should be used to empower end-users, never to exploit them financially, or to limit their freedom to interact with hardware or software in any way.
However, such problems are best solved with social norms, not with software licenses. Any attempt to complicate the software license of Zig would risk compromising the value Zig provides.
Therefore, Zig is available under the MIT (Expat) License, and comes with a humble request: use it to make software better serve the needs of end-users.
This project redistributes code from other projects, some of which have other licenses besides MIT. Such licenses are generally similar to the MIT license for practical purposes. See the subdirectories and files inside lib/ for more details.
