Test files
I am running ld on RISC-V or riscv64-linux-gnu-ld on x86_64
Ubuntu package version:
binutils-riscv64-linux-gnu 2.37-7ubuntu1
binutils 2.37-7ubuntu1
SUSE package version:
binutils-2.37-1.1.riscv64
I have a linker script with a KEEP() statement
grep -GHrn KEEP *.ld
fw_dynamic.elf.ld:48: KEEP(*(SORT(.sbilist*)))
and a static library with multiple sections .sbilist* with non-zero size:
objdump -h libplatsbi.a | grep sbilist
3 .sbilist_fdtreset_1_ 00000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 000001b0

When linking using the linker script
ld -T fw_dynamic.elf.ld \
fw_dynamic.o libplatsbi.a \
-o fw_dynamic.elf
only referenced .sbilist* sections ends up in the elf file.
objdump -h fw_dynamic.elf | grep sbilist
6 .sbilist 00000010 0000000080021ba0 0000000080021ba0 00022ba0 2**3
The expected behavior is that unreferenced sections .sbilist* are retained due
to the KEEP statement.
The test files are appended.
