Hi, On closer inspection it's a little worse. I have a local global variable which is located in .data @ 0x020005AC whereas the rela tells me its within the .text section. Symbol value == 0x02000000 (.text vitual address) with an addend == 0x020005AC, which is actually the absolute address. Looking through binutils I can see for a global symbol there is the following comment: /* To avoid generating warning messages about truncated relocations, set the relocation's address to be the same as the start of this section. */ It's strange that it's not got the correct section ID as well as an incorrect addend. If I turn it into a global global everything is OK with addend set to zero. This is using GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.18 Supported emulations: elf32_sparc Thanks, Neil 2009/2/17 Neil Mayes <neil.mayes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>: > Hi, > > I am implementing a dynamic task loader for RTEMS using a Sparc ERC32. > I have been looking in what is invloved and what I need to do in order > to relocate the code however I have seen the relocations which use an > addend are incorrect, the addend is the absolute value not the offset > from the symbol value.
