I get this FAIL since early January, 981227 is the last snapshot I have without this problem. What can I do to help to track down this problem? Whoops, I was confused. I confused that test with others. That test was only added in January 3, so it most likely never worked on PowerPC GNU/Linux. That test uses a special linker script, ld/testsuite/ld-shared/elf-offset.ld That linker script is probably missing something that is in the default PowerPC ELF linker script, ld/scripttempl/elfppc.sc, which is causing the problem. (You can see the default linker script in a slightly more readable form by running ld --verbose). > On the last on the only special thing about shnp.so I noticed is the > following readelf output: > > Program Headers: > Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flg Align > LOAD 0x010000 0x00100000 0x00100000 0x017d0 0x017d0 RWE 0x10000 > DYNAMIC 0x01176c 0x0010176c 0x0010176c 0x00050 0x00050 RW 0x4 > > AFAI remember there are usually 2 LOAD entries here, or? > >Yes, there usually are. However, it is not a requirement. maybe glibc-2.1/glibc-2.1.1pre1 enforce this? Do people on other glibc-2.1 platforms see this failure too? Or is it PPC only? Actually, there should be PHDR and INTERP entries also; the dynamic linker is probably complaining about the lack of a PHDR entry. Ian
