Currently I am using the following to build my code: binutils-2.15.90.0.1.1-32.5 glibc-2.3.3-98.38 gcc version 3.3.3
Initially while building one of our library we got the following error:- usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-suse-linux/3.3.3/../../../../lib/crti.o(.text+0x10): In function `call_gmon_start': /usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.3/cc/csu/crti.S:16: relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-suse-linux/3.3.3/crtbeginS.o(.text+0xa4): In function `__do_global_dtors_aux': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 __cxa_finalize@@GLIBC_2.1.3 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-suse-linux/3.3.3/crtbeginS.o(.fini+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC .text+4 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/powerpc-suse-linux/3.3.3/crtendS.o(.init+0x0): relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC .text+4 obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x10): In function `__sinit65535()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x28): In function `__sinit65535()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 _ZNSt8ios_base4InitC1Ev@@GLIBCPP_3.2 obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x34): In function `__sinit65535()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 atexit obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x3c): In function `__sinit65535()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 OLLogger_Dest::OLLogger_Dest() obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x48): In function `__sinit65535()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_PLTREL24 atexit obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x7c): In function `__srterm__0()': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc obj/opt/dcbagg.o(.text+0x90): In function `__srterm__0()': : additional relocation overflows omitted from the output A sample test program also gives a similar error: #include <stdio.h> char realbig[36000032] = {1,2}; int main() { printf ("&realbig = %#lx\n", &realbig); } Then by using the option "-Wl,--relax" to the link flag,the above error was solved.But now while building our final executabel I almost get the same kind of error:- objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa224): In function `DCSFormatRule** std::__copy_trivial<DCSFormatRule*>(DCSFormatRule* const*, DCSFormatRule* const*, DCSFormatRule**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa294): In function `DCBAggregateReference** std::__copy_trivial<DCBAggregateReference*>(DCBAggregateReference* const*, DCBAggregateReference* const*, DCBAggregateReference**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa304): In function `DCBView** std::__copy_trivial<DCBView*>(DCBView* const*, DCBView* const*, DCBView**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa404): In function `DCBResultSet** std::__copy_trivial<DCBResultSet*>(DCBResultSet* const*, DCBResultSet* const*, DCBResultSet**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa474): In function `DCBParameterItemInstance** std::__copy_trivial<DCBParameterItemInstance*>(DCBParameterItemInstance* const*, DCBParameterItemInstance* const*, DCBParameterItemInstance**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa574): In function `unsigned short* std::__copy_trivial<unsigned short>(unsigned short const*, unsigned short const*, unsigned short*)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa5e4): In function `int* std::__copy_trivial<int> (int const*, int const*, int*)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa654): In function `DCEPrivateFilterHandle** std::__copy_trivial<DCEPrivateFilterHandle*>(DCEPrivateFilterHandle* const*, DCEPrivateFilterHandle* const*, DCEPrivateFilterHandle**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa6c4): In function `DCEFilterHandle** std::__copy_trivial<DCEFilterHandle*>(DCEFilterHandle* const*, DCEFilterHandle* const*, DCEFilterHandle**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa734): In function `DCWExceptionRange** std::__copy_trivial<DCWExceptionRange*>(DCWExceptionRange* const*, DCWExceptionRange* const*, DCWExceptionRange**)': : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc objws/opt/dcsdprvd.o(.text+0xaa7a4): In function `DCBViewMatrixSortKey** std::__copy_trivial<DCBViewMatrixSortKey*>(DCBViewMatrixSortKey* const*, DCBViewMatrixSortKey* const*, DCBViewMatrixSortKey**)': : additional relocation overflows omitted from the output collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Its worth mentioning that if I comment out this file(dcsdprvd.cpp) from the makefile the same error is then thrown by some other object file and we have huge template instantiations in our code.So can anybody let me know where I am going wrong or do I need some patch to solve this issue. -- Summary: linking error : relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_LOCAL24PC _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_+fffffffffffffffc Product: binutils Version: 2.15 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: ld AssignedTo: unassigned at sources dot redhat dot com ReportedBy: kriti dot dutta at oracle dot com CC: bug-binutils at gnu dot org GCC host triplet: Linux PPC http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2171 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
