Description Denis Vlasenko 2007-09-12 19:15:55 UTC 
$ echo "int main() { return 1; }" >t.c
$ gcc -Wl,--verbose t.c >script.lds

Edit script.lds like this

-  .note.gnu.build-id : { *(.note.gnu.build-id) }
+  /DISCARD/ : { *(.note.gnu.build-id) }

(and remove everything except linker script, of course)

Now try to link with --build-id:

$ gcc -Wl,--build-id -Wl,-T -Wl,script.lds  t.c
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]

$ ld -v
