--- Comment #10 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2010-12-01 23:58:30 UTC --- I am just trying to get Mozilla building with GNU ld instead of gold. First problem is that Mozilla links some of libraries as: /abuild/jh/trunk-install/bin/gcc -O3 -flto -flto-partition=none -fuse-linker-plugin -shared -Wl,-soname -Wl,libplds4.so -o libplds4.so ./plarena.o ./plhash.o ./plvrsion.o -L/abuild/jh/build-mozilla-new7/dist/lib -lnspr4 i.e. there is missing -fPIC that means that we compile into non-PIC code and GNU LD eventually complains about PC32 relocations into symbols that can be overwritten. Is this valid? If so, we need to work out -fPIC ourselves at LTO time.... Honza
