Well, because I took code from an actual run-time testcase and put in
it, which I hadn't done before.

I don't even know whether the GNU ld testsuite has infrastructure for
that, but what I can say at this point is that a run-time testcase
would be redundant, and it wouldn't work in cross-compilation
settings.

That said, I wouldn't oppose if someone else were to turn the program
I attached into a testcase.  If that is requested of me as a condition
for acceptance of the fix, I could use a pointer to other run-time
tests in the GNU ld testsuite.

Thanks,
