That's nothing. If you have patches outstanding for more than six
months, _then_ you should start to get worried.
Anyway, there are a few corner cases I'd like you to check:
- What happens if there are no .sdata or .sbss items at all, but the
_SDA_BASE_ symbol is still referenced? Does it still have an
address corresponding to where .sdata sections would go if there
were any?
- What happens when building a shared object? Does the _SDA_BASE_
symbol still get created with the right value?
