--- Comment #6 from Denys Linke <denys.li...@ipg-automotive.com> --- Hi Nick, thanks for the patch. I can confirm, that it now preserves the .drectve section when doing partial linking. The output of dumpbin.exe now shows this: >> dumpbin /directives linked.o > Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 14.23.28107.0 > Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. > > Dump of file linked.o > > File Type: COFF OBJECT > > Linker Directives > ----------------- > -aligncomm:var,2 > -aligncomm:aligned_var,5 > > Summary > 0 .bss > 0 .data > 30 .drectve > 0 .rdata > 20 .rdata$zzz > 0 .text Notice the new line "0 .rdata" that didn't exist before too. > Not being a PE expert I am not sure what should happen when you partially > link two or more files containing .drectve sections. Should the contents > just be concatenated together, or is there more to it than that ? I am not a PE expert either but for me your patch fixes this issue. However, this leads me to the next problem which is related to objcopy: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29923 Just in case someone is interested, I will attach the new version of linked.o that has been created by the patched ld.
