• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2014-01-13 09:52:39 UTC]

Created attachment 367772 [details]

5.0.32: fails
5.1.29: fails
5.2.42: fails
5.3.21: fails (as does 5.3.28)

This seems to be a problem with sys-devel/binutils-2.24 and --as-needed LDFLAG. Downgrading to binutils-2.23.2 makes the problem disappear.
CCing toolchain herd.

[Comment 2 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2014-01-13 12:52:08 UTC]

binutils upstream fixed this already (see URL). I've applied the patch locally and after that I go no more errors.

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2014-01-19 04:47:06 UTC]

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
