Then this seems like it was done as a hack to get the Linux kernel to cooperate, from a quick skimming. I do not agree with that change, but I guess my opinion hardly matters, especially not 10 years after it was done. I hope this can be reverted, then, or that a linker flag is added to allow this, as from all I can gather, this does not go against spec. Especially since shared objects (non-PIE) can be made with arbitary load addresses. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
