Hi,

There is no reason why --eh-frame-hdr can't be used with static
executable on Linux.  This patch enables --eh-frame-hdr for static
executable on Linux and adds an exception test for static executable.
Other platforms may also work correctly.  But I can't verify it.

Tested on Linux/x86-64.  OK to install?

Thanks.

Well, there is.  For more than 2 years after the addition of --eh-frame-hdr
support dl_iterate_phdr in libc.a would simply always fail, you aren't
adding any kind of check that old glibc (2001-2003ish) isn't used.
Even in newer glibcs, it relies on AT_* aux vector values provided by the
kernel, if they are not provided for whatever reason, it would fail.

It was implemented in

http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2003-10/msg00098.html

for glibc 2.3.0 and we can check

AT_PHDR:         0x400040
AT_PHNUM:        10

with LD_SHOW_AUXV.

Yeah, I know, but that is still later than 2001 when it was implemented for
dynamically linked executables.
USE_PT_GNU_EH_FRAME is defined even for glibc 2.2.something (if DT_CONFIG
macro is defined in headers).

I was worried about some loaders that wouldn't pass the aux vector down.
E.g. valgrind's loader does, but perhaps others wouldn't need to.

Anyway, IMHO statically linked binaries aren't something one should spend
too much time on, they shouldn't be used (with very few exceptions) at all.

Here is a patch to add an option to use --eh-frame-hdr on static.
It won't enable it for uclibc since it is > glibc 2.2.

Those loaders are broken for binaries, static or dynamic, which use AUXV,
independent of this change, and they should be fixed.  It shouldn't block
using --eh-frame-hdr for -static.

Android doesn't need those legacy stuff.  We have to keep it
since GCC doesn't pass --eh-frame-hdr for -static.  At minimum,
I'd like a configure option to use --eh-frame-hdr for -static, even if
it is off by default.

OK to install?

Thanks.

Could we please stop adding this sort of native-only test?  There is 
various existing code that examines headers to determine glibc features, 
which is more cross-compile friendly.  This should probably be factored 
out into an autoconf macro to determine values from target headers, used 
once in configure.ac to get the glibc version for tools with glibc 
targets, and the --enable-gnu-unique-object test should be changed to use 
the version from the headers like other tests do.
