I have been using a command similar to the following to print ld's default
linker script. When using binutils 2.19.51.20090805 in the current version of
Ubuntu karmic, the linker script gets truncated and gcc prints a warning about a
segmentation fault (which does not cause gcc to return a non-zero exit code).
$ gcc -static -nostartfiles -nostdlib /usr/lib/libc.a -Wl,-z,noexecstack
-Wl,--verbose
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.19.51.20090805
Supported emulations:
elf_x86_64
elf_i386
i386linux
elf_l1om
using internal linker script:
==================================================
...
Note that this has to be run in a writable current working directory to
reproduce the problem, because it tries to write an "a.out" file.
The segfault can be reproduced with this more minimal invocation of ld:
$ ld --build-id /usr/lib/libc.a
Segmentation fault
$ dpkg -s binutils | grep Version
