Jan Kratochvil fbd1b77155 Fix accessing TLS variables with no debug info
Since 2273f0ac95a7 ("change minsyms not to be relocated at
read-time"), printing TLS symbols of objfiles with a non-zero base
address, without debug info, fails.

E.g., with:

 $ mv /usr/lib/debug /usr/lib/debug-x

to get debug info out of the way, we get:

 $ echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -pthread -x c -
 $ ./gdb -q -ex start -ex 'p (int) errno' ./a.out
 Cannot access memory at address 0xffffef7c0698

instead of the expected:

 $1 = 0

The regression is not visible with glibc debuginfo installed.

The problem is that we compute the address of TLS minsyms incorrectly.

To trigger the problem, it is important that the variable is in an
objfile with a non-zero base address.  While glibc is a shared library
for 'errno', it's easier for the testcase to use PIE instead of a
shlib.  For TLS variables in PT_EXEC the regression obviously does not
happen.

		   README for GNU development tools

This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, 
debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation.

If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README.
If with a binutils release, see binutils/README;  if with a libg++ release,
see libg++/README, etc.  That'll give you info about this
package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc.

It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of
tools with one command.  To build all of the tools contained herein,
run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.:

	./configure 
	make

To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc),
then do:
	make install

(If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it
the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''.  You can
use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if
it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor,
and OS.)

If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to
explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to
also set CC when running make.  For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh):

	CC=gcc ./configure
	make

A similar example using csh:

	setenv CC gcc
	./configure
	make

REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info
on where and how to report problems.
