You probably want to just use gcc -fPIE for compiling (although gcc -fPIC is not incorrect) and gcc -pie for linking. This may help or it may not. > When I compile without "-nostartfiles", having libgcc added to my > binary I get the following error at runtime: > > > R_PPC_REL24 relocation [...] __libc_start_main' out of range I don't know that I can tell you how to fix it, but here's what it means. The relocation is 24-bit; in other words, the absolute value for the distance from any call to the item called must be less than 2^23 (one bit is the sign). In this case, the distance is larger. One thing that sometimes works on hppa with this kind of problem is to use -ffunction-sections. You might try it and see if it works for you. -- brian m. carlson / brian with sandals: Houston, Texas, US +1 832 623 2791 | http://www.crustytoothpaste.net/~bmc | My opinion only OpenPGP: RSA v4 4096b: 88AC E9B2 9196 305B A994 7552 F1BA 225C 0223 B187
