Segher, any idea about this problem ?

Are you building as PIC? Are you linking libssp_nonshared.a? Why not?

Spotted, thanks.

arch/powerpc/platforms/powermac/Makefile contains:

CFLAGS_bootx_init.o += -fPIC
...

Or maybe stack protection on bootx_init doesn't make much sense and we
could just do the following ?

CFLAGS_bootx_init.o += -fPIC $(call cc-option, -fno-stack-protector)

That would be fine by me.

Yes, that's what I did in v4, sent a few minutes ago. Indeed the same was already done for prom_init, which is similar.
