Dear Dave Martin,
In message AANLkTi=3GCRv00HRA=aXzrV1XxJTcBAV=2H_QeTR0=2R@mail.gmail.com you wrote:
non-interworking branch. ld has no way the veneer needs to be PIC and use the GOT, so it isn't and doesn't.
Stupid question: why not?
Because U-Boot doesn't build PIC for ARM (I notice it does for some other arches).
You are referring to old code. John explitly mentioned that he was working on the "next" branch, which has this:
# needed for relocation PLATFORM_RELFLAGS += -fPIC
Note that BEFORE commit f1d2b31 ("ARM: add relocation support") we did not see such issues (at least I never did, and my underwstanding is that John didn't either).
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
