--- Comment #4 from Nick Clifton <nickc at redhat dot com> --- (In reply to alex_y_xu from comment #2) Hi Alex, I agree that the creation of the corrupt file is not a fluke. It is deliberate. But... > 2. objcopy --only-keep-debug crti.o crti.o.debug The files created by the --only-keep-debug option to objcopy are *intentionally* corrupt. The are not intended to be complete ELF files. Instead they only contain debug information and enough ELF-like formatting that they can be matched up with their stripped counterparts. Note - as a workaround you can use the readelf program instead of objdump. This program is more forgiving of the not-quite-ELF like contents of debug information files: % readelf -h crti.o.debug ELF Header: Magic: 7f 45 4c 46 01 01 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 Class: ELF32 Data: 2's complement, little endian Version: 1 (current) [...and so on...] Cheers Nick -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
