[Bug ld/11956] New: relocation truncated to fit R_MIPS_TLS_GD linking xulrunner

[viriketo at gmail dot com]

Hello,

since some time ago (I think all 2.20 versions suffer from this problem too)
xulrunner from firefox 3.6.8 (and some older) don't link properly in mips.

This happens compiling for ABI n32.

r0bertz did some analysis about the problem already two or three months ago, in
the binutils mailing list. And we still have not found any solution:
http://old.nabble.com/R_MIPS_TLS_GD-reloc-overflow-when-linking->%3Dxulrunner-1.9.1.5-td26755056.html

The last binutils I tried was a snapshot from the 12th of August.

So here you have the symptom. When linking libxul.so, it reports:
../../staticlib/components/libxpconnect.a(xpcjsruntime.o): In function
`XPCJSRuntime::GCCallback(JSContext*, JSGCStatus)':
xpcjsruntime.cpp:(.text+0x1514): relocation truncated to fit: R_MIPS_TLS_GD
against `gTLSIsMainThread'
../../staticlib/components/libxpconnect.a(xpcthreadcontext.o): In function
`XPCPerThreadData::GetDataImpl(JSContext*)':

`nsSocketTransportService::Shutdown()':

nsCharsetConverterManager.cpp:(.text+0xa78): relocation truncated to fit:
R_MIPS_TLS_GD against `gTLSIsMainThread'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The objects linked have a gcc command-line like this:
c++ -o nsRDFResource.o -c -fvisibility=hidden -DMOZ_ENABLE_GTK2 -DMOZ_PLUGINS
-DMOZ_XPFE_COMPONENTS -DMOZ_XPINSTALL -DMOZ_JSDEBUGGER -DMOZ_PREF_EXTENSIONS

-fno-reorder-functions -DMOZILLA_CLIENT -include ../../mozilla-config.h
-Wp,-MD,.deps/nsRDFResource.pp nsRDFResource.cpp

The 'c++' linking command line mentions:
 -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Woverloaded-virtual -Wsynth
-Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -Wcast-align -Wno-invalid-offsetof
