Hi all
I am working on getting Kaffe 1.1.7 to run on an embedded PowerPC
platform with uClibc 0.9.27 and gcc 3.4.2.
After succesfully compiling Kaffe, I try to run it on target, and get
the following error:
/usr/local/bin/kaffe
R_PPC_REL24: Compile shared libraries with -fPIC!
/usr/local//jre/bin/kaffe-bin: symbol 'soft_fixup_trampoline': can't
handle reloc type 0xa
(I am quite sure all libraries have been compiled with -fPIC.)
Pursuing the error, I find that the problem is with
kaffe/kaffevm/jit3/trampolines.S which assembles into .libs/trampolines.o:
$ powerpc-linux-objdump -r ./.libs/trampolines.o
./.libs/trampolines.o: file format elf32-powerpc
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
OFFSET TYPE VALUE
00000064 R_PPC_REL24 soft_fixup_trampoline
I also found at that the code for handling this specific relocation type
has been disabled in uClibc's dynamic linker since version 0.9.11, so I
am not sure whether this is a specific problem related to Kaffe, or if
it is really a uClibc problem...
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
