Dear Jocke & Peter,
In message <OF1F14A150.6DF103F0-ONC125763F.00559936-C125763F. 0055D143@transmode.se> you wrote:
ehh, that is strange. Did you run a make clean in between? Do you see any "bl _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_@local-4" if you generate assembler(-S)? Maybe you had both -fPIC and -fpie defined?
Seems like I was in a hurry, -fpie and -mrelocatable appears to silently transform into -fPIE -mrelocatable so no gain there.
Sorry, but I lost thread on this.
It seems discussion stopped here. Is it correct forme to assume that there is no patch available yet that is considered ripe to be added (to the "reloc" branch) ?
That is correct. Some boards(85xx) seem to have bss_start at 0 sometimes and that won't play nice with this patch. Peter was looking into this but seems like he isn't finished yet.
Also, I have been looking at moving this relocation to C-code and it isn't quite ready yet. What is left is to modify all ppc boards to use this new C-code
