I finally chased down the PowerPC prelink problem. It appears to be within GCC.
On most systems GCC (for PPC) is configured with --enable-secureplt. However, the OE-Core version is not. The prelinker assumes that for certain types of relocations that the PPC_GOT table will exist, otherwise it gives up. (It doesn't know how to do the relocations in the old style .bss-got table.) I'm wondering if there is a reason that PPC is defaulting to the old style .bss-got (other then the secureplt was not enabled by default). Is this something we should do in all cases, or should this become a DISTRO_FEATURE like the mips 'mplt' setting? I'm still building systems and running tests, but adding --enable-secureplt to both the gcc-cross-initial, and gcc-cross appear to have resolved the prelinking issues. --Mark -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
