The problem with arj is that it passes in a linker script as an input file.
The
linker script is just
SECTIONS
{
/DISCARD/ : { *(.comment) *(.note) *(.stab) *(.stabstr) }
}
The problem is that once gold sees a SECTIONS clause, it more or less has to go
through the linker script processing. When it sees a SECTIONS clause in an
input file, it has already handled crt1.o and friends. That fails, because
they
require special handling when using a linker script.
I thought about different ways to tackle this, but I finally decided to simply
forbid it. I committed this patch to give a sensible error for this case,
rather than simply crashing.
