Bug 602834 – gentoo-sources-4.9.0 not compiling with ld.gold

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Oliver Hildebrandt 2016-12-16 15:05:11 UTC]

The Problem exists since git-sources-4.9-rc1 but made it in the final Kernel, the problem is known by the Kernel Bug Tracker and there is a fix for this. It is not included with gentoo-sources-4.9.0.

The following compile error prevents the kernel from being build with ld.gold (tested binutils-2.26.1 and binutils-2.27):

EXPORTS drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/lib-ksyms.o 
LD drivers/firmware/efi/libstub/built-in.o 
LD drivers/firmware/efi/built-in.o 
LD drivers/firmware/built-in.o 
EXPORTS arch/x86/lib/lib-ksyms.o 
ld: internal error in target, at /var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/binutils-2.26.1/work/binutils-2.26.1/gold/parameters.h:105

Compiling with ld.bfds works without any Problem.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.switch to ld.gold with binutils-config --linker ld.gold
2.make oldconfig
3.make -jN
Actual Results:  
I only use make oldconfig, and the gold linker.

Expected Results:  
The Compile Job breaks with the above error message

Compile fine without any error.
