[Bug 663294] Re: Firefox built with gcc-4.5 is a non-starter on i386 with -pie

[Chris Coulson]

Note, I just hacked the intermediate test.o object and inserted 4 bytes
of garbage from offset 0x25 from the start of the .text section (which
is where the linker applies a R_386_TLS_LDO_32 relocation, and seems to
be the one which isn't applied correctly). Then I ran the linker on it,
and confirmed that the relocation is actually applied incorrectly
(rather than not being applied at all), as the garbage i inserted in to
the intermediate object was overwritten.

So, it just seems to be that R_386_TLS_LDO_32 relocations aren't handled
properly with -pie
