NetBSD 5.1_STABLE evbarm
>Description:
I am trying to do native compilation in ARM target(armv7-a). 

This target was built with with NetBSD5.1 kernel cross compiled and userland was created with Machine as evbarm and architecture as armv7eb in NetBSD5.1 source. 

         NetBSD version:   5.1
         MACHINE:          evbarm
         MACHINE_ARCH:     armv7eb
         Build platform:   Linux 2.6.18-194.32.1.el5PAE i686
         HOST_SH:          /bin/sh


Kernel and userland application like (ls, chmod,etc) which were cross-compiled executes successfully.

I have also built developer tool chain and installed on the target ARM machine. 

gcc version: 4.1.3
ld version: 2.6.1
as version 2.6.1

Using this version of developer tools on the target, I am trying to compile some C programs natively. I am facing SIGILL on executing the binaries. On analyzing the objs generated by the compiler, all the instructions generated are proper ARM instructions in Big Endian. 
However on linking, the executable created does not do the endianness swapping(be8 option of the linker) *completely*. I am seeing the mix of little endian and big endian instructions in the text section. I understand that all the instructions are supposed to swapped into little endian.

Small programs(<6K size) does not result in SIGILL as all the instruction are properly swapped for endianness by the linker.

Here is an extract of
Correct instruction in the executables:

   1594:	0dc0a0e1 	stceql	0, cr10, [r0, #900]
    1598:	00dc2de9 	sbceqs	r2, ip, r9, ror #27
    159c:	04b04ce2 	ldreqt	r4, [r0], #3298
    15a0:	10a09fe5 	adcne	r9, r0, r5, ror #31


Wrong instruction which are not swapped which results in SIGILLs

    15c0:	e1a0c00d 	mov	ip, sp
    15c4:	e92dd800 	stmdb	sp!, {fp, ip, lr, pc}
    15c8:	e24cb004 	sub	fp, ip, #4	; 0x4


Want to understand how to get the correct executable on the target. Cross compilation of the C files is not an option for me.
>How-To-Repeat:
Create userland(Cross compiled) for armv7eb with NetBSD5.1 and copy the same to the ARM target. chroot to the userland. 

1. create a big static/dynamic library. now link the library to a C program and execute the program
Commands that I have used
gcc -msoft-float -dynamic -mtune=cortex-a9 -g -c example-deconstructor.o example-deconstructor.c 

gcc -I../include -msoft-float -dynamic -mtune=cortex-a9 -g -o example-deconstructor example-deconstructor.o  ./libmyx.so.2

2. Compile C file with -static option and run the executable.

SIGILL will be seen

 Are you sure that it depends on size of the program?

 Sounds more like the bogusly stripped libgcc, see
 http://gnats.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=49337

 The fix is only in netbsd-7 or current AFAIK.

 The size may be not significant. The byte swapping happens partially.

 Are you building from a single c source, or from libs?
 My bet is the swapping happens fine for c source or "normal" objects,
 but you are using some lib that has been partially stripped, which kills
 the $t/$a markers. libgcc was one of those libraries (untill fixed)

 I have compiled 1 file.
 gcc -o api.o -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I.. -I../include  -c  api.c

 Now I have written a simple C function which calls only one function from
 the objs.

 gcc -o test2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I.. -I../include test1.c api.o

 # ./test2
 pid 447 (test2), uid 0: exited on signal 4 (core not dumped, err = 2)
 [1]   Illegal instruction     ./test2

 # gcc -o api.o -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I.. -I../include  -c  api.c
 # gcc -o test2 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I.. -I../include test1.c api.o
 # ./test2
 #

 The content of the test1.c is always the same.

 # cat test1.c
 #include <yaml.h>

 int main ()
 {
   yaml_parser_t parser;
   yaml_parser_initialize (&parser);
 return 0;
 }

 The obj is correctly endianness swapped in the latter case. Wonder why the
 same function crashes in one case and not the other.

 I have reduced the C file in api.c in the working case by commenting some
 part of the code. In the case of SIGILL its a full file

 So is the function where it crashes from libgcc?

 No the first instruction of the function itself crashes(due to wrong
 endianness). the function was compiled on the target.

 what command line are you using for linking?=

 Please find the compiler/linker options that I have tried out so far.
 (Note: All these options resulted in SIGILL)

 1.As in PR 49337, I have checked the following commands.(using
 "-static" itself results in SIGILL even for a small C program which
 just has return statement)
  > cc -Wall -O2 -static -c hello.c
  > cc -static -o first hello.o

 2. # gcc -o api.o -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I.. -I../include  -c  api.c
     # ld -r -o libyaml.a  api.o
     #gcc =E2=80=93DHAVE_CONFIG_H  =E2=80=93o  test1  -I../include test1.c a=
 pi.o
 Also I have tried to pass explicitly"-be8" to the linker which
 resulted in the same SIGILL
 (As mentioned in the previous post, I am calling one of the function
 in api.c from test1.c
 also  in the second case when I reduced library size by commenting
 some part of the code in api.c. I was able to execute without any
 issue).


 3. #gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I..  -I../include    -msoft-float
 -mtune=3Dcortex-a9 -c -o my.o my.c
     #gcc -shared  -fPIC -DPIC -o ./my.o   -L/lib -L/usr/lib
 -msoft-float -mtune=3Dcortex-a9 -Wl,-soname libmyx.so.2
     #gcc -I../include -msoft-float -dynamic -mtune=3Dcortex-a9 -g -o
 example-deconstructor example-deconstructor.o  ./libmyx.so.2

 Also when I use -static, it crashes all the time. Could the issue be
 with linker option or static library or the size?
 As far as my observation, if i could reduce the size of the static
 library less than 6000 bytes, I could compile and execute the program
 successfully.

 Please help on this as I am blocked with this completely
