           Summary: alpha gcc 4.2 -fPIC visibility hidden => gp-relative
                    relocation against dynamic symbol
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.2.4
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: target
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: jay.krell@cornell.edu


I assume this is a known bug in gcc 4.2?
  No repro with 4.5.1.
I worked around it by using a local static signal handler that
calls the real one.

GCC 4.2.x is no longer maintained, please try newer GCC version(s).

Right, I already reported: no problem with 4.5.1.
4.2.4 is what Debian 5.0 has though.
I'll stick with my workaround.
I can try 4.3.x, 4.4.x if there is interest (i.e. in fixing them if they are
broken; heck for that matter I should probably try stock 4.2.x, instead of
Debian's)

Then it should be reported to Debian if they're still maintaining their 4.2

If they're broken then there'll be interest, there's just no interest in fixing
*anything* in 4.2

It appears to also be ok in 4.3.5.

4.4.5 I think has a bootstrap problem in libstdc++, I will confirm and open a
separate bug.

No problem with 4.4.5 either.
