Description Bernhard Rosenkraenzer 2009-11-10 18:14:03 UTC 
Trying to build glibc 2.11 with gold (after patching out configure.in's checks for the expected ld 
version) results in

gcc   -nostdlib -nostartfiles -r -o /usr/src/ark/BUILD/libc/build-x86_64-linux/elf/librtld.os '-Wl,-('

Comment 1 Ian Lance Taylor 2009-11-11 06:48:38 UTC 
That part is never going to work with gold.  It is asking the linker for the
default linker script, editing it, and passing it back to the linker.  gold does
not have a default linker script to edit.  Building glibc with gold will require
using a different approach of some sort.
Comment 2 Rohan Hart 2010-03-04 00:16:42 UTC 
There appears to be no corresponding bug against glibc.  Perhaps this one could
be reassigned?
