Not a bug. objcopy -O binary on a relocatable file loses the relocs. X86_64 uses rela style relocs where the addend is in the reloc, x86 uses rel where the addend is in the section. So in the latter case you get the "+4" from .text+4, in the former you don't. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
