            Bug ID: 57409
           Summary: PIE (-fPIE -pie) prevents any malloc on Solaris 10
                    sparc
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.8.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jullien at eligis dot com

Trying to build recent sudo versions which now uses PIE I got core dumps or
does memory failures since gcc 4.7. It appears the culprit is PIE.

Using 4.8 and all recent gnu tools compiled with:
../configure \
    --with-gnu-as    --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as \
    --with-gnu-ld    --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld \
    --enable-shared                              \
    --disable-nls                                \
    --enable-languages=c,c++

on good old UltraSparc 10 having 512Mb of mem gives me the same error using
this simple test:

#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
int
main()
{
  return printf("malloc %p\n", malloc(100));
}

$ gcc -o foo -fPIE -pie foo.c && ./foo
malloc 0
$ gcc -o foo foo.c && ./foo
malloc 20918

here is the result of -v on
$ gcc -o foo -v -fPIE -pie foo.c
Using built-in specs.

Is there is something wrong on the way I compile gcc on solaris sparc? Except
for PIE, gcc 4.8 compiled ROOTB many big GNU and non-GNU projects without
error.

Tia for the time you may spend on this report.
