Here is how to reproduce. Using ld with binutils 2.19.
$ cat hello.cc
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World\n");
}
$ gcc-4.4.0 hello.cc -static -Wl,--gc-sections
$./a.out > hello.out
$ wc hello.out
0 0 0 hello.out
Using, --print-gc-sections shows that :
ld: removing unused section from '__libc_atexit' in file 'libc.a(genops.o)'
ld: removing unused section from '__libc_freeres_fn' in file
'libc.a(register-atfork.o)'
ld: removing unused section from '__libc_subfreeres' in file
'libc.a(register-atfork.o)'
ld: removing unused section from '__libc_freeres_fn' in file
'libc.a(dcigettext.o)'
...
Removing __libc_atexit was responsible for this behaviour.
--
Summary: Static linking with gc-sections deletes __libc_atexit
causing problems with stdio buffer flush to file.
