Bug 32763 – GCC with -c and two -o parameters fails with unrecognized option `-strip'

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Johnson 2003-11-04 19:50:41 UTC]

contents of test.c:
int main(int argc,char* argv[]) {
    return 0;
}

now run:
"gcc test.c -o test" works fine and produces test
"gcc test.c -o test -o test2" works fine and produces test2
"gcc -c test.c -o test.o" works fine and produces test.o
"gcc -c test.c -o test.o -o test2.o" fails with:
cc1: error: unrecognized option `-strip'
cc1: error: output filename specified twice

I don't know if this is a bug from one of our patches, or an upstream bug.
This is the cause of bug #31823, which happens on 3.3.1-r3 and gcc-3.3.2-r2 for 
definite.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
it should compile fine!

doesn't happen with gcc-3.2

bug tracing:

build a stock gcc-3.3.2
in it's 'gcc' dir
do:
PATH=".:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin" ./xgcc -c test.c -o test.o -v
provides this output:

now:

-v
and get:

and that shows us the source of '-strip'!

[Comment 3 Robin Johnson 2003-11-04 20:40:23 UTC]

this needs to be passed upstream to the gcc people.

[Comment 4 Robin Johnson 2004-01-05 17:40:43 UTC]

upstream report at
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13577

[Comment 5 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-07-11 13:49:31 UTC]

resolved upstream in 3.4 and 3.3.4
