Is anyone looking into implementing multigot functionality? I think some platforms use 32bit GOT by default or something like that such that Mozilla is not a problem. I don't know if it is a good idea for Linux. As for the -multigot option for ld, I have an impression from the man page that it is a linker feature and you don't need to modify the compiler. If it is true, we should investigate the possibility. Unfortunately, I don't know how -multigot works on mips. H.J.
