Hi Nick, Tanks for you reply so soonly. I had already download the latest snapshot(binutils-050907), and the problem has not resolve yet.I try to make the case smaller, but i failed. As when I make some modification ,the problem will not exist any more. I have to send you a little big test case(less than 1Mbytes tarball). Really appreciate for your kindly help.
Here is the readme file of the test case tarball, which you will find in it also. LD version 2.16.1 or binutils-050907, configuration is ./configure --target=mipsel-elf Now invoke the make in the current directory. There will generat three files. symbol.list This file is the libextras.a's symbol list,and you can search "piofree_handle" in it. You will find the follow statements: 86: 00000004 28 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT COM piofree_intr 87: 00000004 4 OBJECT GLOBAL DEFAULT COM piofree_handle 88: 00000000 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT UND cyg_interrupt_create It's clearly that the aligment of piofree_handle is 4 bytes aligned. thread_gdb This file is the output elf image(excecuable). thread_gdb.map This file is the output elf image's map file, and you can search "piofree_handle" too. You will get the follow statements: .scommon 0x000000008090bc44 0x9 thread_gdb.o 0x000000008090bc44 worker_cv 0x000000008090bc4c worker_state .scommon 0x000000008090bc4d 0xc extras.o 0x000000008090bc4d piofree_handle 0x000000008090bc51 flag_int_reason *fill* 0x000000008090bc59 0x3 00 Now you will find the problem is that the piofree_handle is misaligned.When excute the image in my platform, there will raise unaligned access exception. Best Regars, Zhigang.
