As part of this release cycle, I plan to, by default, use the same .o
files (built as PIC) for both libc.so and libc.a, and remove the
SHARED macro. --disable-pic would then both imply --disable-shared and
inhibit building of rcrt1.o. I could add a separate
--disable-static-pie if you want to be able to use PIC but not static
pie (not generate rcrt1.o) and your arch could force all of these, but
my guess is that there's no such thing as PIC vs non-PIC for pnacl and
it's some kind of higher-level byte code. Anyway, does that sound
reasonable?
BTW, how are you doing cancellation without asm?
