gcc/gdb/as/ld issue

[Andy Chittenden]

We've recently started to use partially linked images for some of our
libraries in order to speed up the final link (ie we use -r option with
--whole-archive). And this has stopped gdb working with:

../../src/gdb/gdbtypes.c:515: gdb-internal-error: make_cv_type: Assertion
`TYPE_OBJFILE (*typeptr) == TYPE_OBJFILE (type) || TYPE_STUB (*typeptr)'
failed.

Is this a bug in ld when generating partial images given that it works if I
use whole libraries generated by ar instead?

FYI we're configuring the toolchain for powerpc-eabi target.
