Commit Message

lld does not implement all the linker optimization to avoid the GOT
relocation as done by binutils (bfd/elf32-i386.c:elf_i386_convert_load_reloc).
The current 'movl main@GOT(%ebx), %eax' will then create a GOT
relocation when building with lld, which make static-pie status to
not being able to start the provided main function.

The change uses a __wrap_main local symbol, which in turn calls main
(similar as used by aarch64 and s390x).

Checked on i686-linux-gnu with binutils and lld.

LGTM.

Thanks.

LGTM, too.

BTW: do you know when start.o/start.os is assembled without -DPIC?

I find that in both --enable-static-pie and --disable-static-pie modes,
both start.o and start.os use -DPIC. start.os uses an additional -DSHARED.

Is the non-`#ifdef __PIC__` path dead?
