Synopsis: gcc 3.0.2 x86 PIC code can be improved
State-Changed-From-To: open->closed
State-Changed-By: rth
State-Changed-When: Fri Mar 29 17:35:31 2002
State-Changed-Why:
Not possible. The reference to _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ is magic
in that it's actually PC-relative. The assembler takes care
of this by transforming it to an R_386_GOTPC relocation instead
of the R_386_32 relocation any other symbol would receive.
