Hi there,
I have just tried gcc 4.4 svn trunk on a MIPS N32 system.
But I found -mplt is practically not usable, because -mno-shared is not used
when generating non-PIC code.
I dug into the code and found the cause is in gcc/config/mips/linux64.h.
Unlike linux.h under the same directory, DRIVER_SELF_SPECS in linux64.h has no
LINUX_DRIVER_SELF_SPECS.
Is it left out intentionally?
However it seems to me that -mplt works on N32 system.
So what about the patch attached? ok to apply?
