--- Comment #21 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-06-12 20:33:24 UTC --- check m64 on powerpc-darwin9 and it appears to do the Right Thing; mdynamic-no-pic still applies for m64/powerpc and we get: $ ./gcc/xgcc -Bgcc ../tests/hello.c -o hc -fpie -mdynamic-no-pic -m64 cc1: warning: ‘-mdynamic-no-pic’ overrides ‘-fpic’, ‘-fPIC’, ‘-fpie’, ‘-fPIE’ or ‘-pie’ [enabled by default] xgcc: note: '-mdynamic-no-pic' overides '-pie', '-fpie' or '-fPIE' c.f. system compiler: $ gcc-4.2 ../tests/hello.c -o hc -fpie -mdynamic-no-pic -m64 ../tests/hello.c:1: warning: -mdynamic-no-pic overrides -fpic or -fPIC ld: absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) used in _main from /var/folders/17/17RRKLjrExOvsenOKYzNhk++-0E/-Tmp-//cc5VGi6o.o not allowed in slidable image. Use '-read_only_relocs suppress' to enable text relocs (I think the messages issued by the patched compiler are clearer than the system tools .. but opinions welcome).
