System: NetBSD arresum 1.1A NetBSD 1.1A (VEEGO) #44: Sat Dec 23 22:40:31 MET 1995 bernd@arresum:/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/VEEGO amiga


>Description:
	a ld.so compiled with gcc 2.7.2 does not work, at least under m68k

	AS ld.so does relocation behind GCCs back, we cannot let the compiler cache
	function addresses in registers

	not to mentioned all the warnings in groff and the errors in libg++
>How-To-Repeat:
	cd /src/gnu/usr.bin/ld
	make
	make install

	and you get core dumps from every shared binary, so keep the old ld.so
	before you try that (and keep an open root shell to copy it back)
>Fix:
	There is allready an open send-pr (bin/1557) with many patches,
	one for src/gnu/usr.bin/ld/rtld/Makefile which solves the ld.so
	problem. But you need to rename the old ld.so before you can copy
	the new one to /usr/libexec or you get trapsignals.
