this is not the symbol you're looking for
Just a followup about the whole _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
thing. Apparently this symbol is provided by the linker, so it makes sense that it doesn’t work since the AROS linker is actually a custom ld
script known as collect-aros
which doesn’t handle position independant code at all.
If we were to ever have real ELF-style shared libraries, this is one thing we’d need to implement. The other thing we’d need is a whole load of stuff in LoadSeg()
, which is our “runtime linker”.
Nothing to see here, just some notes for posterity.
