--- Comment #5 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- The questionable code is old, commit 98790d3a95fc. Quite possibly it is no longer needed. If I assemble and link .section .data.dropme,"ae",%progbits foo: .globl bar bar: then both symbols are dropped properly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
