Hi,
Currently the dynamic linker on ARM systems doesn't support loading non-PIC
objects. Essentially this is because doing relocs that involve writing to the
text area is messy owing to the cache most commonly used (writeback and split
I/D).
Is it a requirement that non-PIC objects be supported? The test cases in the
elf directory are currently not PIC and these tests consequently fail on ARM
at the moment.
