It seems there is a mess in the way sections are handled by this gcc version and/or for your host machine. This seems clear to me, because there can be no instruction with this opcode, as major opcode is 6 bits long in PPC and so can't be 0xa0. Could you please send me the qemu binary by mail, so I could check the executable structure (the opcode table structure, in fact...) ? But you may not be able to execute PPC405 dedicated binaries, as this CPU implements some instructions that aren't in the PPC spec then not emulated by Qemu. Those instructions seem not to be used in the program you tried, but you should check that you always compile with -mcpu=powerpc flag (not -mcpu=405) to get only generic PPC code, in order to execute inside Qemu. -- Jocelyn Mayer <l_indien@magic.fr> Never organized ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Hmm, I'm afraid whole gcc/glibc is compiled probably with -mcpu=405... Anyway, thanks for the hint.

This might be the issue. This is not the issue for your crash, but you may have other problems later, using PPC405 binaries. I will had the 405 dedicated instructions later, when the PPC core will more stable (I still have ennoying bugs to solve). -- Jocelyn Mayer <l_indien@magic.fr> Never organized ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

I've just checked and gcc website still note only (for x86-linux platform): i?86-*-linux* As of GCC 3.3, binutils 2.13.1 or later is required for this platform. See bug 10877 for more information. So at least, this should be not so known bug...

I just check your qemu program, using GNU binutils version 2.14.90.0.8 20040114 in a 32 bits x86 environment and GNU binutils version 2.15.90.0.1.1 20040303 in a amd64 environment on Gentoo. The two versions show me the same problems: - ELF flags say the executable has symbols, but objdump isn't able to find them. - the .opcodes section (which should contain the PPC opcodes tables) pretend 8 bytes aligned but is, in fact, 16 bytes aligned. - this section is quite empty: only 20 bytes, when it's 4992 bytes long in my version. - I failed to find the opcode tables in any section. it seems that the binary has been partialy stripped, which is really strange. I didn't find a description of this bug (I suspect ld more than gcc, but...). You may try to use another binutils and/or gcc version, as suggested.... -- J.
