global offset table problem

[Ben Hubbert]

Hello,
	I don't know what I am doing wrong but basically I am linking
files compiled at different times using gcc.  I am running on a mips
machine.  I have noticed that the symbol table does not match the global
offset table for some procedures.  The is a difference of 12 or c.  Do you
know what may be causing this?
I know this because I run elfdump -Dg to get the GOT table.
I run elfdump -t to get the symbol table.
symbol table has:
[  357] matrix                      0x00437df8      0 GLOBAL    FUNC .text

Global Offset Table has:
[       230]: 0x00437e04 -31832(gp), 0x100ef348 [matrix]

I would appreciate any help.  Thanks!

-Ben
