That means elf/dl-load.c will assume zero for the load address. That will crash static programs which expect a value of 0x5ffe0000 and are trying to dlopen a shared library which uses a different value. Most popular example is rpm. So we need to keep ``#define MAP_BASE_ADDR(l) 0x5ffe0000'' in there until we've got a real fix, unfortunately. ABI requires us to properly support DT_MIPS_BASE_ADDRESS, so that needs to fixed for real anyway ... > * sysdeps/mips/rtld-ldscript.in: Removed. > * sysdeps/mips/rtld-parms: Likewise. > * sysdeps/mips/mips64/rtld-parms: Likewise. > * sysdeps/mips/mipsel/rtld-parms: Likewise. > > As I mentioned before, the resulting glibc works fine with the IRIX ABI > executables. But I have no ideas about DSOs. This rtld stuff was an IRIX-ism which made it into Linux without the necessary reflection; nothing bad should happen if we remove it. Ralf
