[eresi-dev] Welcome to Eduardo + GOT[] question

[Julien Vanegue]

The _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE is not a variable but a symbol. It points on the
.got section. The address you mention is really strange, it looks like a
relative address. Maybe you were looking at a .so file ? In that case, all
addresses are relative and the base will be added at runtime, once the
loader decided where the library will be mapped.
