Bug ID: 29498
Summary: Is it expected that eu-strip strips .note.GNU-stack
Product: elfutils
Version: unspecified
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: tools
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: jpalus at fastmail dot com
CC: elfutils-devel at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Accidentally we've started to strip crt*.o files produced by glibc and were
surprised by the fact that eu-strip gets rid of .note.GNU-stack section
resulting in incorrect linking.
$ gcc -c test.c -o test.o
$ readelf -S test.o|grep GNU-stack
[ 5] .note.GNU-stack PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000074
$ eu-strip test.o
$ readelf -S test.o|grep GNU-stack
(empty)
I see following comment in strip.c:
> - special sections named ".comment" and ".note" are kept
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=elfutils.git;a=blob;f=src/strip.c;h=452b12796dd3b7ff3a46d13a2bfb9aa0f5c93ac9;hb=HEAD#l1361
The question is whether observed behavior is expected or rather .note.GNU-stack
should be kept?
