Description Richard Biener 2011-05-24 09:47:15 UTC 
Current glibc git head fails to link with ld from the 2.21 branch

ld: Please report this bug.

I suppose the testcase will be too large for bugzilla, you can fetch it
from http://gcc.opensuse.org/ld-bug.tar.bz2 once it is synced there.
Comment 1 Richard Biener 2011-05-24 09:51:15 UTC 
ICEs the same way with the 2.21 release.  ld 2.16.91.0.5 doesn't grok the
linker script.

With

GNU ld (GNU Binutils; SUSE Linux Enterprise 11) 2.20.0.20100122-0.7.9

it works fine, so it seems to be a regression in 2.21.
Comment 2 H.J. Lu 2011-05-24 14:07:16 UTC 
Please try binutils mainline.
Comment 3 Richard Biener 2011-05-25 08:35:48 UTC 
I don't have mainline around.  I have 2.20 around which works and 2.21 and
the top of the 2.21 branch which both fail.
Comment 5 Richard Biener 2011-05-25 12:30:11 UTC 
Why should I?  You can try yourself.  I want a fix for 2.21.x, not for 2.22+.
Comment 6 H.J. Lu 2011-05-25 15:36:11 UTC 
Dup.
