Subject: [Linux-ia64] minor update to gnu-efi package available
Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 00:13:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <marc-linux-ia64-105590701905191@msgid-missing> (raw)
Hi,
We have recently uncovered a problem with the gnu-efi package version 3.0
and versions of gcc > 3.0 such as the one shipped on Redhat7.2/ia64.
The problem is caused by some new optimization in the code generating
the read-only data sections. Basically, the constant strings (such as for
printf()) are moved into a section that is not called .rodata anymore but
.rodata.strX.Y (where X and Y can vary). The loader scripts did not
know about these sections and therefore were not including them resulting
in garbage being printed by the Print() function.
Version 3.0a of gnu-efi corrects this problem on both IA-32 and IA-64
systems. There was no other important changes to the package.
You can download the package at:
