Hi Faraz,
I am seeing a new linker testsuite failure:
LD REGRESSION: Check --no-print-map-discarded linker option
in some non-ELF based toolchains:
ns32k-netbsd
ns32k-pc532-macho
pdp11-dec-aout
powerpc-ibm-aix5.2.0
rs6000-aix4.3.3
tic30-unknown-aout
tic4x-coff
tic54x-coff
z8k-coff
They problem is the .section directive in the test source file. For
example the ns32k test shows:
skip-map-discarded.s: Assembler messages:
skip-map-discarded.s:3: Error: unknown pseudo-op: `.section'
Whilst the powerpc failure shows:
skip-map-discarded.s: Assembler messages:
skip-map-discarded.s:3: Error: the XCOFF file format does not support arbitrary sections
It is the same for the other targets too.
Please could you add an "[is_elf_format]" check around the
skip-map-discard test, in a similar fashion to other tests in the
ld-gc/gc.exp file ? A patch to do this is pre-approved.
Cheers
Nick
