Hello,

I'm compiling verion 99.3 of the gnome-libs package on an i386/1.3.3
system and I saw the following messages:

  /tmp/cc23628a.s: Assembler messages:
  /tmp/cc23628a.s:961: Warning: GOT relocation burb:
  `_gnome_triggerlist_topnode' should be global

I don't see anything in the man page for as or gcc that describes this.
Can anyone explain to me what the "GOT relocation burb" message means?

Thanks,

Brian
