Hello!

- "!TARGET_HAS_BIONIC"
+ "ix86_stack_protector_guard == SSP_TLS"
Please introduce TARGET_SSP_GLOBAL_GUARD and TARGET_SSP_TLS_GUARD
defines to i386.h (please follow an example of TARGET_GNU_TLS).
target_option_default_node = target_option_current_node
= build_target_option_node ();
+
+ /* Handle stack protector */
+ if (!global_options_set.x_ix86_stack_protector_guard)
+ {
+ ix86_stack_protector_guard = TARGET_HAS_BIONIC? SSP_GLOBAL : SSP_TLS;
+ }
}
You should not need this part, JoinedVar directive should handle this
functionality by itself. Again, please see ix86_tls_dialect handling.
Uros.
