Description lamont 2007-05-15 19:27:18 UTC 
On hppa, using either of the following gcc's (Debian sid and Ubuntu feisty):
  gcc version 4.1.3 20070429 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.2-6)
  gcc version 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4hppa1)

results in the following:
  % cat xx.c; gcc -pie -fPIC -fPIE xx.c && ./a.out
  int main(int n,const**p) { ; return 0; }
  Segmentation fault

gcc version 4.1.2 20061115 seems ok

THis is more likely the dyanmic load's fault rather than GCC's.
Comment 3 John David Anglin 2007-06-02 00:13:24 UTC 
After some discussion on the parisc-linux list, this bug was determined
to be in _start.  This is pure assembly code and part of glibc.  Therefore,
this is not a GCC bug.
