Description H.J. Lu 2005-01-19 00:02:19 UTC 
_bfd_elf_symbol_refs_local_p treats all STV_PROTECTED symbols as
dynamic to support function pointer equality tests. It doesn't work
with protected data symbols on x86_64.

[hjl@gnu-20 x86_64-2]$ make
gcc -B./ -fPIC	 -c -o x.o x.c
ld -shared -o libx.so x.o

used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
ld: final link failed: Bad value
make: *** [libx.so] Error 1

This problem seems to be present still in AS4 U2, it appeared when installing
Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 on a fully updated machine. As an experiment I rebuilt
binutils with the patch from the binutils list and Oracle then installed without
any complaints.
