Bug ID: 16790
Summary: [cygwin|mingw] ld -v creates a.exe
Product: binutils
Version: 2.25 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: nickc at redhat dot com
Reporter: yselkowitz at cygwin dot com
Nick,
A possibly unforeseen side-effect has resulted from the addition of
default-manifest support for PE targets. Usually, a simple '[$target-]ld -v'
only prints the version, and '[$target-]ld --verbose' without any other
arguments prints the linker script but does not create a file. However, with
the new Cygwin binutils (20140326 snapshot), an a.exe file is created in both
cases. I presume this was not intentional. Could the previous behaviour be
restored (IOW do not include default-manifest.o if there is nothing else to
link)?
