David noticed that gcc112 was generating gcc/auto-host.h with #define POWERPC64_TOC_POINTER_ALIGNMENT 32768 This is not the correct value of either 8 or 256 depending on how old ld is. On investigating I found the cause is Fedora 21 modifying the toolchain to default to -z relro. ld -z relro puts the relro gap just before .got (prior to my patches reordering sections for relro on powerpc64). That unfortunately aligns .got, defeating the deliberate mis-alignment of .got in the testcase. Fixed with the following obvious patch and committed to mainline. Incidentally, bootstrap fails for me on powerpc64 due to "comparison is always true due to limited range of data type [-Wtype-limits]" && GET_MODE_SIZE (mode) <= POWERPC64_TOC_POINTER_ALIGNMENT)); since my POWERPC64_TOC_POINTER_ALIGNMENT is 256 and mode_size is an unsigned char array. Grrr, so what code obfuscation do we use here to work around this annoying warning?
