We'll still need to modify GCC to use PC-rel for accessing an object in another TU (by default, or an option to control), instead of GOT. Or just add support to GOT relocations here. But anyway it will be much easier as we won't need to handle per-CPU variables specially. -- Xi Ruoyao <xry111@xry111.site> School of Aerospace Science and Technology, Xidian University
