Hello.

With current thunk I see:

$ valgrind --leak-check=yes --trace-children=yes ~/bin/binutils/bin/ld --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_x86_64
...
==21255== Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)

==21255==    by 0x40348E: main (ldmain.c:246)
...

When I put there a printf:

diff --git a/bfd/targets.c b/bfd/targets.c

   for (match = &bfd_target_match[0]; match->triplet != NULL; match++)
     {
+      fprintf (stderr, "pattern: %s, name: %s\n", match->triplet, name);
       if (fnmatch (match->triplet, name, 0) == 0)
 	{
 	  while (match->vector == NULL)

I see:

Maybe it's an issue of glibc, maybe valgrind can't handle that properly?
Thanks
