Bug ID: 27837
Summary: Consider allowing mix of -r / --relax by ignoring
--relax.
Product: binutils
Version: 2.36.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: slyfox at inbox dot ru
Target Milestone: ---
This is a forward of https://bugs.gentoo.org/788901 bug by Petr Šabata.
Petr uses LDFLAGS+=-Wl,--relax system-wide. glibc (and ghc) occasionally use
`ld -r` for partial linking (and apply $LDFLAGS for it). binutils does not
allow such a mix:
$ touch a.c
$ LANG=C h gcc -Wl,--relax -r a.c -o a
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.0.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
--relax and -r may not be used together
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Our options are to:
1. Filter out -Wl,--relax flag downstream and don't pass it to glibc
2. Tweak glibc to pass -Wl,--no-relax in `ld -r` contexts
I wonder if binutils could ignore -Wl,--relax altogether for partial linking.
Thank you!
