--- Comment #6 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- Hi Cary, (In reply to Cary Coutant from comment #5) > Something is missing from this test case, I think. It links fine with gold, > and no duplicate symbols are generated. That's strange - the test case works for me. (Note- you need to use the bfd linker to link the test case not gold). > In the problem description, your > __bss_start symbols have a Qt_5 version on them, but when I link your test > case, I don't see any versions on those symbols. Try: $ readelf --syms libapt-pkg.so.5.0 | grep bss_start 963: 00000000003b14a0 0 NOTYPE GLOBAL DEFAULT 25 __bss_start@@APTPKG_5.0 I do not know how GOLD resolves these symbol version conflicts. Maybe it converts them into absolute symbols first ? > Apparently, ld is fine with duplicate absolute symbols, but it's not fine > with duplicate relative symbols.

Actually it is fine with duplicate absolute symbols that *have the same value*. Which makes sense really. Such symbols are just copies of each other. Redundant perhaps, but not really a cause for failing to link.
