Description Uros Bizjak 2011-03-10 14:37:03 UTC 
This is a followup from gcc PR48055 [1], where a warning from ld is emitted:

/home/uros/gcc-svn/trunk/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/execute/builtins/lib/main.c
-w -O2 -flto -lm -o /space/uros/gcc-build/gcc/testsuite/gcc5/memcpy-chk.x9^M
/usr/lib/gcc/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
Warning: alignment 8 of symbol `buf5' in /tmp/ccgnDykf.ltrans1.ltrans.o is
smaller than 16 in /tmp/ccc3QsSw.o.ironly^D^M
/usr/lib/gcc/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
Warning: alignment 8 of symbol `buf7' in /tmp/ccgnDykf.ltrans1.ltrans.o is
smaller than 16 in /tmp/ccc3QsSw.o.ironly^D^M
/usr/lib/gcc/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/4.4.5/../../../../alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
Warning: alignment 8 of symbol `buf1' in /tmp/ccgnDykf.ltrans1.ltrans.o is
smaller than 16 in /tmp/ccc3QsSw.o.ironly^D^M

According to Jan, these internal warnings should not be generated.

This should work with 2 stage linker.

Sorry, missed that this was for the 2.21 branch; this, and most other plugin-related bugs are still there.  Current plan is to do a big backport and release a 2.21.1 in approximate synchrony with gcc 4.6

Taking assignment so I remember to include this when I do the backport.

Fixed a long time ago.
