Cross compiler for powerpc-elf-netbsd, on host i386--netbsd.
Using builtin specs.
Configured with: ../../gcc-cvs/configure --target=powerpc-elf-netbsd --prefix=/usr/local --enable-languages=c --with-local-prefix=/usr/local/powerpc-elf-netbsd --without-headers --with-newlib
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.1 20010826 (experimental)
Cross compiler compiled with:
gcc version egcs-2.91.66 19990314 (egcs-1.1.2 release)
on NetBSD/i386.
>Description:
This is also verified on gcc 2.95.2 and 2.95.3 as well as 2.95.4 from CVS.
When compiling a file with option -fPIC, when a static variable is used in a function,
the output assembler code is wrong. Compiling with -fpic or no such option works.
The resulting error message from gas is:
/var/tmp//ccG6GMLk.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp//ccG6GMLk.s:28: Error: unsupported relocation type
>How-To-Repeat:
With -fPIC, it will reference the variable with:
lwz 0,.LCL0-.LCF0(30)
However, the label ".LCL0" does not exist in the assembler output.
Using a gcc 2.95.2 on Linux/PPC, will add these two lines:
.LCL0:
.long .LCTOC1-.LCF0
which the output from gcc under NetBSD/PPC does not include.
When compiling with -fpic, or no extra option, the variable is
referred to simply by the label with its name, and not a relative
address.
>Fix:
As I've understood, -fPIC is not necessary to use on powerpc (rs6000),
but some makefiles do (gcc included, for libgcc2), and some files
don't compile.
