www/seamonkey builds an embedded copy of libffi. On amd64, this
includes some assembly code that puts two jump tables into the .text
segment, which semarie@'s warning diff helpfully pointed out:
/usr/obj/ports/seamonkey-2.53.14/seamonkey-2.53.14/config/external/ffi/../../../js/src/ctypes/libffi/src/x86/unix64.S:94:8:
warning: directive value inside .text section: directive '.long', section
'.text'
.long .Lst_void-.Lstore_table
^
The patch below moves the tables into .rodata. The tables contain
a list of offsets from a rip-relative starting point. I've left
the original label names to keep the diff small. As far as I can
tell, i.e. from looking at other code our compiler generates,
referencing data in .rodata with rip-relative addressing should be
fine and we don't need to go through the GOT.
It builds. I haven't been able to run it yet, since seamonkey
doesn't appear to be amenable to SSH X11 forwaring.
