--- Comment #4 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> ---
First off, SHOULD_FAIL = . + .; in kernel.ld as given outside of an output
section does not result in adding two relative addresses. It is the addition
of two absolute addresses.
Secondly, if the SHOULD_FAIL line is moved inside the .text output section then
yes, "." is relative to the start of the section. I see no reason why ld
should fail adding the two offsets, or in other expressions like "2 * .". Even
if you could convince me that ld should reject ". + .", I would resist changing
the ld expression parser in case it broke existing user scripts and mark this
"bug" as WONTFIX.
