The symptom was an assembler warning "GOT relocation burb: `___EXCEPTION_TABLE__' should be global" followed (sometimes) by a core dump. The fix makes the compiler generate the correct GOTOFF addressing for that symbol, rather than the GOT addressing it was emitting before. Warning: There is still at least one serious bug in the i386 exception code for PIC. The exception code that is generated clobbers the GOT register (%ebx) and then tries to use it later. That leads to core dumps at program execution time. I know where the problem is, but I do not have a fix for it at this time. Until it is fixed, exceptions will not work in PIC code. This is a general problem for all i386 platforms; it is not specific to FreeBSD. |
