--- Comment #1 from Sergei Trofimovich <slyfox at inbox dot ru> --- AFAIU eary failure happens at input checking against ELF: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=bfd/elfnn-ia64.c;h=459d986c0350f5e5982c7738ea69273f2ae97f7a;hb=HEAD#l4744 4735 static bfd_boolean 4736 elfNN_ia64_merge_private_bfd_data (bfd *ibfd, struct bfd_link_info *info) 4737 { ... 4743 /* Don't even pretend to support mixed-format linking. */ 4744 if (bfd_get_flavour (ibfd) != bfd_target_elf_flavour ... 4746 return FALSE; Looks like many other targets have that check but see to work. Does ia64 port miss some earlier step to convert binary into an ELF? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
