--- Comment #7 from Michael Deutschmann <michael at talosis dot ca> --- My example involves an ordinary, absolute executable, not a PIE. And my point is that all the magic has to be in the linker, not GCC. If there are no relocations inside the array (there are in the gas/libopcodes case, but not in the simplest demonstration), the .s file GCC will generate for an object consisting only of data will be exactly the same with and without -fPIC. And it's not even decided until link time whether the external reference is fulfilled statically or with a reference to a .so file. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
