Bug ID: 29963
Summary: PDP11 link produces spurious relocation truncated
messages
Product: binutils
Version: 2.41 (HEAD)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: paulkoning at comcast dot net

Reproducer source file
In some large programs "relocation truncated" errors appear. It turns out the
PDP11 linker asks for signed overflow checking, which is not correct because
PDP11 addresses are unsigned. Unsigned checking is not correct either because
wrap is valid in certain cases. The DEC linker does 16 bit relocation
arithmetic with silent wrapping, and ld should do likewise.
Attached: reproducer and patch.
