- Subject: .bss section and bss_start symbol
readelf shows different addresses for .bss section and the __bss_start
symbol. Shouldn't they be the same?
I am talking about non-relocatable ELF files. I am not saying this is a
bug. I just don't understand why the address listed for .bss in the
section listing is not the same as the value listed in the symbol table
listing for __bss_start.
Thanks.
