As far as I know, the problem hasn't been fixed in GCC.  OPD generation
is done by the linker and dynamic linker.  There is a discussion here
<http://lists.parisc-linux.org/hypermail/parisc-linux/1723.html>.

Note that the hppa64 linker always creates dynamic binaries intended
to be loaded by a dynamic loader.  It doesn't know how to create a
fully static binary.  I don't fully understand the ins and outs of
how this is being handled with 64-bit kernels but I suspect that this
is why there are duplicates.

My pb is that the only smp system I can test is a N4k model which have afaik a pdc that can only boot a 64bit kernel.
Is there some alternate to boot a 32bit kernel on this kind (A, L, N, ...) system?

Thanks for info,
