[parisc-linux] Foiled by the linker again

[bame@puffin.external.hp.com]

Through some hacks, and special thanks to taggart for producing
header files, I built a tool chain which cross compiles all applications
I've attempted... well almost.  Anyway the good news is I have a
native binutils for palinux.  Unfortunately cross-compiling
bash, tar, and gcc all fail in the link stage with:

/home/bame/xc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/hppa1.1-linux/2.9-hppa-991112/../../../../hppa1.1-linux/lib/libc.a(execve.o): In function `__execve':
/users/bame/palinux/glibc/posix/../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/execve.c:39: undefined reference to `$global$'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I checked, and the absence of $global$ is a special case in the linker.  I
tried adding a file which defined $global$ by hand and that didn't help
either.

My tentative conclusion is that smaller apps link and larger ones don't --
possibly some interaction with the decision to start using %r8-based stubs
when the app gets too big.  I'm stuck.

I'll leave puffin.external.hp.com:~bame/rrtar.o around for anyone who
wants to mess with the linker.  It is the "ld -r" of all the object files
for tar.  'hppa1.1-linux-gcc -o tar rrtar.o' should create tar,
but this causes the (my) linker to fail.

The tool chain I'm using, which has some hand patches in it because I
don't really know where they belong in sources, can be rsync-ed from
puffin.external.hp.com:~bame/xc or grab the tarball
ftp://puffin.external.hp.com/pub/parisc/binaries/tgz/elf32x86.tar.gz

In the meantime I think this is pretty cool:
