Hi!
I am working on a project using powerpc binaries I create myself.
I am creating the binaries using Debian 6 kernel 2.6.32.5 powerpc
running in a qemu VM, with gcc 4.4.5-8, binutils 2.20.1 eglibc 2.11.2-10
My binaries are someway special being compiled with -fPIC and linked
with -pie (gcc -Wl,-pie) as I need full relocatable PIC executables.
These binaries are in fact loaded by qemu-user in different addresses.
My project (open source, as it is a university project) works fine when
I do not use libgcc (using gcc -nostartfiles) for creating my powerpc
executable, but it is impossible to build useful binaries without using it.
When I compile without "-nostartfiles", having libgcc added to my binary
I get the following error at runtime:
Hi!
Sorry I am not very sure if this is the right mailing list for posting
my problem, I've got the address from an old thread about the same kind
of problem.

> R_PPC_REL24 relocation [...] __libc_start_main' out of range
I tried to link my binaries as static but I get the following:
> R_PPC_REL24 relocation at ... for symbol __nptl_deallocate_tsd out
of range
(I do not use threads though!)
In some old thread I read it is related to non PIC code being linked
together with PIC code. But the code producing the problem seems libgcc.
Is there a way for fixing this problem? Is there anybody able of explain
fine what happens?
I have got a very strict deadline, but I can't understand fine what the
problem is, I keep trying to install different debian versions hoping
they would fix it..
Thank you very much in advance!
