------- Comment #17 from vapier at gentoo dot org 2010-08-18 03:23 ------- thanks for the shorter test case. could you explain why a 64bit load is used though ? if you're looking for the address of something, and you're not going through a pointer to that location, why isnt it a normal lea with a relocation ?
your short test case though doesnt show exactly the same as ours ... we arent going through the GOT or have a relocation on the load ... as for compiling glibc as it wasnt meant to be, that's pretty vague. i think the only way to get a glibc the way it is _meant_ to be compiled is by getting a binary package from drepper himself. and even then, who knows. for a project that doesnt support cross-compiling, doesnt support static linking, doesnt support a good number of architectures, it's no wonder eglibc exists. i hate to point out that Gentoo was doing SSP/PIE light years before Redhat and glibc/gcc, and that was "unsupported" for a long time too. now it's a stock part of glibc ... -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=45286
