<p class="MsoNormal">Hello Rui,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m enabling the LLD in the Uefi firmware edk2 build. I meet a problem about the -pie option and cannot output the executable type obj file correctly. I need your advice.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Uefi firmware executable binary is the position independent + small code mode in 64bits. So we always add the options “-Wl,-pie -mcmodel=small” in our clang build toolchain. These options work well with binutils LD, but cannot work
with LLD. I see the LLD uses the below code to force the output obj file as shared obj type if link with -pie. Is there any way to let LLD output executable type obj with -pie option? I’m OK if I have to link twice, first output DYN and then covert to EXEC
in some way. Could you give some link command examples on it?<o:p></o:p></p>
