Help wanted WRT multigot...
We are using gcj/gcc-3.3 to run java programs on a mipsel-linux platform, and were able to work around GOT overflow error by hacking the
build to pass -xgot to gas.
After searching the web, it appeared that using binutils 2.14 or binutils-2.14.90.0.4 might enable multigot objects. However it not clear to me if there is multigot support in these versions of binutils, or how to turn it on if there is.
Is there a multigot assembler/linker that can be used with gcc-3.3?
Or are we stuck with -xgot?
Thanks in advance,
David Daney

If you just try using 2.14, it should work. No extra flags, no anything special.

mmap broken on cvs update 2_4
The signal defined 1 problem is really a Bus error. uClibc is broken for signals and got them from the x86 asm/signal.h file to build its default string messages.
I'm using mmap. It maps successfully and has the proper ranges in /proc/pid/maps.
When I try to access the memory I get a bus error. This did not happen before I did a cvs update. I had even rebuilt a kernel prior to the cvs update that didn't do that.
If someone can tell me where to look I'd appreciate it.
