The following test was on an i386 target, but the bug is not specific, most of
the targets that use md_elf_section_letter are currently broken.
Using the test program (test.s):
.section ".rodata", "z"
.global foo
foo:
.word 1
Then assemble with:
> gas -o test test.s
test.s: Assembler messages:
test.s:1: Warning: entity size for SHF_MERGE not specified
test.s:1: Warning: group name for SHF_GROUP not specified
test.s:1: Warning: setting incorrect section attributes for .rodata
/projects/firepath_work/aburgess/GNU-binutils/build/gas/as-new: test: warning:
sh_link not set for section `.rodata'
The "z" section flag is invalid, and it didn't assemble, so I got what I
deserved :) but we're not stopping with the correct error message in the correct
place.
I've got a patch for this and will append to this defect.
