g77 pic case vs. binutils & readelf

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Robert,

: Doesn't seem to be the case.   The count is reported as 4 and according
: to objdump:
: 
: Contents of section .rel.got:
:  80487b4 2c580508 06220000 6c580508 062b0000  ,X..."..lX...+..
:  80487c4 00000000 00000000 00000000 94294500  .............)E.


Well that looks plain suspicious.  The second line looks like it has
been walked over by something that is not a reloc.

: .//g77 $* -v -B./
: /play/egcs/gcc/testsuite/g77.f-torture/execute/970816-3.f  -w  -O1  -L
: ../i686-pc-sco3.2v5.0.5/pic/libf2c  -lm   -fPIC -o xxx 
: 
: If I whack the "pic" from the -L argument, this case works.     

Can you post the output when '-v' is added to that command line.
Basically it would be interesting to know which object files &
libraries are being linked together.  Also I would suggest that you
use readelf or objdump to examine each of the object file/libraries in
turn (especially any in ...pic/libf2c).  You want to know two things -
do they contain any suspicious looking relocs and what is the layout
of their sections.

I am about to go offline until Monday, so you are on your own now.
Good luck!

Cheers
