Hi,

The NetBSD/bebox kernel made by binutils-2.8.1 can't boot.
Of course, it made by binutils-2.7 can boot.

I examined where there is a difference.
The address where it was linked deviated to 4bytes,
and "_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_" was added.

made by binutils-2.7
 000dd814 D dumpdev
 000dd818 D mountroot
 000dd82c A _edata
 000dd82c S callout
 000dd830 S bufpages

made by binutils-2.8.1
 000dd810 D dumpdev
 000dd814 D mountroot
 000dd81c ? _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
 000dd828 A _edata
 000dd828 S callout
 000dd82c S bufpages


Is there a problem in source code?
Is there a problem in binutils-2.8.1/gas?
