--- Comment #16 from Sourceware Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The binutils-2_44-branch branch has been updated by Alan Modra <amo...@sourceware.org>: https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=08ff112d536e49dfb89c636937cf5a4a725bedf2 commit 08ff112d536e49dfb89c636937cf5a4a725bedf2 Author: Alan Modra <amo...@gmail.com> Date: Sat Jan 18 22:39:05 2025 +1030 Support broken gcc test for gas string merge support On casual reading of older gcc configure scripts it might be supposed that the test for gas string merge support tries with %progbits after a fail on ARM with @progbits. It doesn't succeed due to a bug. So to support building of older gcc's for ARM without users having to edit gcc sources, add a hack to gas. The hack can disappear in a few years when building older gcc's likely requires other work too. I've changed the docs to reflect what we actually allow for .section syntax prior to this patch. (No way should this hack be documented as allowed!) PR 32491 * config/obj-elf.c (obj_elf_section): Allow missing entsize for ARM gcc configure bug. * doc/as.texi: Correct syntax of ELF .section directive. * testsuite/gas/elf/string.s, * testsuite/gas/elf/string.d: Test it.
