RE: Re: [committed] TILE-Gx GOLD: better offset ranges for large got.

Hi Alan,

  Thanks for point out! I checked glibc source code, we use _GLOBOAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ in elf_machine_dynamic, this is a hidding bug.

  From my understanding, this is only used when ld.so bootstrap, and because our ld.so's got size is < 0x8000, so this bug is not triggered, we do have tested our gold port by build glibc/rtld, and runs OK

So your dynamic loader uses the first entry in the .got section for the address of .dynamic rather than the entry pointed to by _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_?
