Hi,
Just a warning that egcs 1.1 seems to miscompile elf/dlsym.c on Alpha with the
default optimisation settings. This causes programs using dynamic linking to
dump core (the problem seems to be that the compiler fails to notice that a
function call clobbers the return address that's held in a register).
Compiling with -O0 seems OK.
I'm not sure whether egcs 1.1.1 is the same. I'll check later and send a
report to the egcs people if so.
p.
