Summary: GCC 4.6 fails to bootstrap or compile at all with gold linker Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: bootstrap AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: adam....@streamnovation.com Created attachment 22056 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=22056 preprocessed version of the conftest which hangs When GCC starts configuring the libstdc++, it runs the conftest: "checking whether a statically linked program can dlopen itself..." which hangs. I tried gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.6 as a compiler for the conftest and all hanged when I used gold. in order to reproduce the bug: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wl,--export-dynamic -static conftest.ii.c -ldl gold version: GNU gold (GNU Binutils for Debian 2.20.1-system.20100303) 1.9
