vismain failure



"make check" gives a failure for me:

GCONV_PATH=/packages/glibc-20000724-build/iconvdata LC_ALL=C \
  LD_PRELOAD=/packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf/vismod3.so /packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf/ld-linux.so.2 --library-path /packages/glibc-20000724-build:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/math:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/dlfcn:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/nss:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/nis:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/rt:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/resolv:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/crypt:/packages/glibc-20000724-build/linuxthreads /packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf/vismain  > /packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf/vismain.out
Timed out: killed the child process
make[2]: *** [/packages/glibc-20000724-build/elf/vismain.out] Fehler 1

vismain.out contains only one line of output:

`.protected' seems to be handled correctly, good!

The child process is burning CPU cycles at

#0  0x8048e6c in protinmod () at vismod1.c:69
#1  0x804958f in do_test () at vismain.c:125
#2  0x8049379 in main (argc=1, argv=0xbffff504) at ../test-skeleton.c:196

The forward pointer for protinmod is pointing to itself, yielding an endless
loop:

(gdb) x/10i $eip
0x8048e6c <protinmod>:  jmp    *0x804b510
0x8048e72 <protinmod+6>:        push   $0x98
0x8048e77 <protinmod+11>:       jmp    0x8048d2c <_init+48>
(gdb) print *(void**)0x804b510
$1 = (void *) 0x8048e6c

I'm using ld from binutils-2.9.5.0.24. Last week, I didn't see the
failure; I was using an ld from binutils-2.9.1.0.25 then.
