Problems with dynamic loading

Tue Dec 8 00:52:16 EST 1998

Dear Linuxppc developers,

I have a problem with dynamic loading using dlopen. The prgram
included below runs perfectly on Redhat Intel Linux, but crashes
on PPC Linux. It appears to me that dynamic linking is not
carried out correctly, in the sense that a dynamically loaded program
(below this program is called dynamite) does not call the 
alrerady existing routines correctly. In case you might draw a conclusion,
for instance that the problem does not occur in newer versions
of the system, I would appreciate if you could let me know (jfg at cwi.nl).

You should type make and then main to run the example. The program
should  enter main, dynamite, in_main, and then jump back to dynamite and
main. On the PPC the call to in_main fails, leading to a segmentation fault.

I am using [jfg at groote experiment]$ gcc --version
2.7.2.1-ppclinux

[jfg at groote experiment]$ ld -version
GNU ld 2.8.2

I think the Linux system is version 3.0, distributed in the beginning of 1998,
but I cannot find any confirmation of this.

I would be very much obliged if you could let me know your conclusions.

With many greetings, 
Jan Friso Groote
