The ABS relocs that I mentioned were from testglue.o which isn't built PIE or PIC and that's the reason for the failures to show up. Maybe the right solution is to rebuild <tool>*tg.o with anything that tortures on PIE or PIC ? Yes, I wasn't suggesting for a moment that this patch was suitable - I'm seeing a high number of failures in cross-testing . It was a big hammer 20 minutes before I left work to separate test failures from these and the other failures that I'm seeing. cheers Ramana
