However, this problem is not directly related to the test-case (it just happens to reveal it). I think we will try to fix this bug - it seems quite serious ... so we could also decide to live with the test-suite noise? > BTW what happens on i?86-linux-* with -fpic? I think as Jakub mentioned, the _GOT solution will not exhibit this problem.
