You can do a build on Solaris right before my changes, and see in what section clz_table is. > Or put differently: Why did things use to work before the improvements? Probably because the linker is only caring that clz_table is in the TLS section when we try to use a relocation which is incompatible with the usual kinds of linker relaxation relocation done on TLS symbols. Normally the %tls_*() relocs are used with TLS symbols. So we didn't properly mark object types, and the Solaris assembler uses a terrible default for symbol types, adding up to symbols inadvertantly ending up in the TLS section. _______________________________________________ gmp-devel mailing list gmp-devel@gmplib.org http://gmplib.org/mailman/listinfo/gmp-devel
