This does not seem to do the right thing for shared libraries, at least not on PPC64. When creating a shared library on PPC64, the linker includes crti.o as an input, and that has a R_PPC64_ADDR64 relocation to __gmon_start__ (used to check the value of __gmon_start__ so that it can be only conditionally called). But, in the common case, it is weak and undefined (and being a direct address, does not require a .got entry), so canBePreempted returns false.

But, then when creating a shared library, we add a R_PPC64_RELATIVE relocation for this R_PPC64_ADDR64 __gmon_start__ field, using 0 as the addend, and so ld.so ends up filling this field with the base load address (definitely non-zero), and the resulting library understandably segfaults during initialization.

Thanks again,
Hal
