The default on 32-bit hppa is to generate non-position independent code. It is somewhat more efficient. It uses some different relocations and global data is loaded using global pointer. One doesn't need to load address from got.
This runtime model was defined by HP years ago (1980s). Strangely, HP decided to generate PIC code by default for hppa64. Regards, Dave -- John David Anglin dave.ang...@bell.net
