egcs and glibc 2.0.5 on linux/alpha

[H.J. Lu]

Hi,

Has anyone tried glibc 2.0.5 on linux/alpha? It seems that either
alpha dynamic linker in glibc 2.0.5, binutils or egcs has some bugs
which causes the alpha dynamic linker in glibc 2.0.5 compiled with
egcs 970904 fails to run:

# gdb glibc-2.0.5-alpha/elf/ld-linux.so.2
(gdb) r
Starting program:
glibc-2.0.5-alpha/elf/ld-linux.so.2 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4630 in _dl_start () at ../sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h:366
366             *reloc_addr += map->l_addr;
(gdb) bt
#0  0x4630 in _dl_start () at ../sysdeps/alpha/dl-machine.h:366
(gdb) print reloc_addr
$1 = (Elf64_Addr *) 0xe590

Any ideas?

Thanks.
