Hi Ard,
I know that X86 specific stuff should be in generic code. I notice that
even relocation relaxation is enabled, the GOT would not be empty. I
want it to be included in the read-only data section (RODATA) between
the symbols __start_rodata and __end_rodata for safety. I noticed that
you placed it in the data section during your PIE linking. Should it be
marked as read-only if it is not empty?
Thanks.
