------- Comment #7 from doko at ubuntu dot com 2009-10-08 15:17 ------- With binutils from the 2.20 branch, and gcc from the 4.4 branch, including Jakub's patch, and excluding the current workaround from Ramana, I get:
$ gcc -c main.c $ objdump --wide -h main.o | grep ALLOC 0 .text 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .data 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000050 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 2 .bss 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000050 2**0 ALLOC $ gcc -c -g main.c $ objdump --wide -h main.o | grep ALLOC 0 .text 0000001c 00000000 00000000 00000034 2**2 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, READONLY, CODE 1 .data 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000050 2**0 CONTENTS, ALLOC, LOAD, DATA 2 .bss 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000050 2**0 ALLOC OpenOffice rebuilt with these tools doesn't crash anymore.
