If by lazy you mean less error prone and obviously simpler :). clearly using -mrelocatable is the smarter thing to do. I had this misconception that the GOT was all that was needed for relocation. Could not find any useful information on what rules apply to gcc and binutils for handling stuff in this fixup section. Anybody have any information on this? ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
