--- Comment #1 from Rich Felker <bugdal at aerifal dot cx> 2012-10-21 22:06:39 UTC --- I'm not sure whether the fix should be in gcc/varasm.c, default_binds_local_p_1(), or in the config/i386/predicates.md, local_symbolic_operand predicate. In the former, all non-default-visibility symbols are considered "local". In the latter, this "local" flag is used to determine that a got-relative offset would be allowed. If varasm.c is modified, it should be to make protected symbols considered non-local. I don't know if this would hurt code generation on other archs that don't use copy relocations, however. If predicated.md is to be modified, I don't see a good way, since the information on visibility seems to be lost at this point. Hidden symbols must continue to be considered local, but protected ones should not.
