With r211706 rtld got broken for ia64 & powerpc64. It was fixed for powerpc64 with r212497. In between, r211749 removed the exports table because the version script handled the exports. But wait, symbol versioning was disabled on ia64. With exports controlled by the version script and symbol versioning disabled, all symbols are exported and too many symbols bind to the definition in rtld. Let's just say that waird things happen. So, enable symbol versioning on ia64 and apply a work-around for the SIGSEGV that triggered r169630 to begin with: when rtld relocates itself, it comes across r_debug_state and for some reason can't find the definition. This causes a failure, relocation aborts and null pointers galore. The work-around is to ignore the missing definition when rtld is relocating itself and keep going. Maybe with the next binutils this will all go away. Maybe not, in which case I still need to figure out why r_debug_state cannot be found. BTW: r_debug_state is in the symbol map -- I don't think any other rtld symbols that rtld references are in the symbol map... FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
