Subject: [patch 2.6.6] Workaround linker bug
Date: Thu, 27 May 2004 05:39:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9422.1085636381@kao2.melbourne.sgi.com> (raw)
Building 2.6.6-ia64-040521, using GNU ld version 2.14.90.0.4 20030523.
__gp is sometimes set incorrectly. Instead of being .got + 0x2000000,
it is set to .data + 0x2000000, which breaks some LTOFF22 and GPREL22
entries.
This is non-deterministic, changing the path name to the kernel tree
which changes the size of some messages in .data is enough to make the
linker get it right. Force __gp to be based on .got.
