Created attachment 13511 [details] Proposed patch When linking 32-bit x86 binaries using the gold linker the .note.gnu.property section is not created. The BFD linker on the other hand does create the section. For example: % gcc -fcf-protection -m32 hello.c % readelf --notes a.out | grep SHSTK Properties: x86 feature: IBT, SHSTK % gcc -fcf-protection -m32 hello.c -fuse-ld=gold % readelf --notes a.out | grep SHSTK % A suggested patch is attached.
