Trying to build OpenSSL 0.9.6g on Solaris 8/Intel with a fixed
solaris-x86-gcc shared configuration and a proper invokation of gcc (using
-shared instead of gcc -G as explained in a previous report) fails since the
assembler sources used contain text relocations. The link step fails with
errors like this:
+ gcc -shared -G -o libcrypto.so.0.9.6 -h libcrypto.so.0 -z allextract libcrypto.a -L.
+-z defs -lsocket -lnsl -ldl -lc
Text relocation remains referenced
against symbol offset in file
<unknown> 0x22d2 libcrypto.a(dx86-sol.o)
and many more. This lets building libcrypto.so fail. Unfortunately, it is
not even possible to turn off the -z text implied with -shared with a
subsequent -z textoff, since the linker complains:
ld: fatal: option -ztextoff and -ztext are incompatible
ld: fatal: Flags processing errors
Anyway, shared libraries with remaining text relocations are not really
useful since they are not sharable, greatly diminishing their utility. So
perlasm and the various x86 assembler implementations should be fixed to
produce proper PIC code if shared libraries are to be produced. The
affected files during the Solaris 8/Intel compilation were
crypto/bf/asm/bx86-sol.o
crypto/cast/asm/cx86-sol.o
crypto/des/asm/dx86-sol.o
crypto/des/asm/yx86-sol.o
crypto/md5/asm/mx86-sol.o
crypto/rc4/asm/rx86-sol.o
crypto/sha/asm/sx86-sol.o
For the record, here's the test report:
