Reading through this, I came to the patch you posted on 2005-02-06 for elf32-i386.c. The comment says: +2005-02-06 H.J. Lu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> + + * elf32-i386.c (elf_i386_relocate_section): Disallow R_386_GOTOFF + against protected function when building shared library. If you intented to do this only for shared libraries, but not for PIE executables, then info->shared is incorrect, and as I proposed has to be changed. Peter -- Peter S.
