I'm using Ubuntu 9.10 for ARM on my (OMAP3) Beagleboard. When I install gold as /usr/bin/ld and use it to recompile / relink gold, it segfaults. Other executables linked with gold also segfault. Even ./configure in binutils/gold fails because 'a.out' used in compiler tests segfaults - i.e. the first version of gold still linked with old ld produces binaries that segfault.
Example: ubu...@beagleboard:/mnt/swap/kde/aux/binutils/gold$ ./configure --enable- targets=arm checking build system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking host system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking target system type... armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... mawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for gcc... gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... configure: error: in `/mnt/swap/kde/aux/binutils/gold': configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs. If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'. See `config.log' for more details. [note: config.log looks completely uninteresting] Latest CVS version of gold as always. I used the native (running on the host platform) compiler to make sure that my usual distributed cross-compilation setup doesn't cause problems. -- Summary: executables linked with gold segfault Product: binutils Version: 2.21 (HEAD) Status: NEW Severity: critical Priority: P2 Component: gold AssignedTo: ian at airs dot com ReportedBy: ahartmetz at gmail dot com CC: bug-binutils at gnu dot org GCC build triplet: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi GCC host triplet: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi GCC target triplet: armv7l-unknown-linux-gnueabi http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11259 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
