I recently experimented with dietlibc and tried to create static, non-PIC binaries, with some success. Contradicting the docs (gcc info), -G 0 is not the default but has to be passed explicitely (even when using the GNU assembler). BTW: Who is "we"? Do you mean global data optimization is broken in gcc/binutils or just that no one at SGI is using it? Regards, Johannes
