I'm confused... While working with tools for a PowerPC 8xx I've run into a problem loading SO's: /bin/hello.x: error while loading shared libraries: /lib/libgcc_s.so.1: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0ff6c384 for symbol `__pthread_mutex_lock' out of range
I'm using gcc-4.0.2+ (i686-pc-linux-gnu x powerpc-823-linux) and glibc-2.3.6. Googling for similar problems suggests that this relocation is not used when building with -fPIC, and that all PowerPC SO's should be built with -fPIC. Objdump -dR shows the reference is from gcc_personality_v0(), which is defined in gcc/unwind-c.c. gcc/Makefile.in creates libgcc.mk which is used to compile unwind-c.c with -fPIC. The generated asm makes the reference as: bl [EMAIL PROTECTED] # 141 *call_value_nonlocal_sysv/1 [length = 4] And for this, gas generates: R_PPC_REL24 __pthread_mutex_lock Can anyone help clarify what is / should be going on here?
