[parisc-linux] python (toolchain really) problems

[Paul Bame]

One good reason not to upgrade right now is python is broken, but I'm
pretty sure this is a dynamic linker bug.  I tried my test against
glibc 2.2.4-4 which is currently in incoming.

_start is making it's first function call:

0x1053c <_start+40>:    ldil 20800,dp
0x10540 <_start+44>:    ldo 8(dp),dp
0x10544 <_start+48>:    b,l 0x104d4 <_init+56>,rp

to here:

000104d4 <.text>:
   104d4:       2b 60 00 00     addil 0,dp,%r1
   104d8:       48 35 02 58     ldw 12c(sr0,r1),r21
   104dc:       ea a0 c0 00     bv r0(r21)
   104e0:       48 33 02 60     ldw 130(sr0,r1),r19

r21 contains '0xdeadbeef' -- here are the details:

do_page_fault() pid=16052 command='python2' type=6 address=0x00c0ffef
vm_start = 0x00020000, vm_end = 0x00021000
