Subject: Re: aarch64 sigsetjmp relocation truncation bug, maybe
Of course, right after I send the email ... here's another piece of
evidence, which I think is consistent with my interpretation below.
If I simply add the following function to one of my C files:
void you_gotta_be_kidding_me(int arg)
{
jmp_buf buf1;
sigjmp_buf buf2;
setjmp(buf1);
sigsetjmp(buf2, arg);
}
... the linker error goes away. My hypothesis is/was that code like
this would encourage the linker to locate the two libc functions closer
together, so that the relocation is no longer truncated. So, it appears
that I at least have a workaround.
