[LLVMdev] mixing PIC/static with exception handling

[edA-qa mort-ora-y]

I can narrow down my problem to handling the type_table pointer from the
LSDA. If the code is compiled with PIC then my type_table pointer is not
valid. I'm not clear is this can come from a parsing issue, or is it a
linker issue?

Platform is Linux x86_64.
