--- Comment #5 from joakim.tjernlund at transmode dot se <joakim.tjernlund at transmode dot se> --- I am sure I saw .data.rel.ro.local section with a .4byte statement in it using -S Now I cannot repeat it. The only thing that has changed that I know is glibc 2.19 is no glibc 2.20 and binutils from 2.24 to 2.25.1 Maybe binutils version makes a difference? Don't have that handy anymore
