Description Shay Gal-On 2005-06-06 22:00:40 UTC 
The following:
#include <stdlib.h>

void (*testme)(void *) = free;

int main()
{
        return 0;
}


Fails with "assertion fail" when trying to link after compiling with -mabi=64.
Works fine with o32 or n32. Same issue with taking address of malloc etc...
Can take address of non-glibc functions just fine.

I have not verified with later incarnations of binutils yet.

Please do - n64 support for MIPS/Linux did not really work until 2.15,
and now 2.16 has been released.

Fixed a long time ago.
