After I submitted http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2011-04/msg02422.html, Rong Xu noted that the resulting sources, if configured --with-pic, would not actually build properly due to missing __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx (due to my renaming that to __x86...).
While that issue was exposed by my change, in that configuration, in summary my change exposed a latent issue in morestack.S. (Callers of __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx (etc.) are also supposed to define those functions -- because who knows whether the other objects they're linked against will provide them.) So, I've added the __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx function (as generated by current GCC) to libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S. (I also added __ELF__ #ifdefs and a .size directive for the function, following the apparent conventions in the file.) bootstrapped (C only) on Ubuntu Lucid x86-64, and ran -m32/-m64 tests for compilers configured as normal, and also --with-pic. No regressions before/after. Ian, OK for trunk? chris ---- [libgcc/ChangeLog] 2011-05-03 Chris Demetriou <c...@google.com> * libgcc/config/i386/morestack.S (__i686.get_pc_thunk.bx): New.
