--- Comment #4 from Steven Noonan <steven at uplinklabs dot net> --- This bug is still present, but I believe I know what is causing this. At the time I reported this, I was using a binutils configured with --enable-compressed-debug-sections=all. The resulting go.gcc binary just crashed when run. If I build GCC using a binutils configured with --enable-compressed-debug-sections=none instead, then the resulting go.gcc runs fine: $ go.gcc version go version go1.8.3 gccgo (GCC) 7.2.1 20171005 linux/amd64 I see that libbacktrace was made to support compressed debug sections in trunk only very recently: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67165 So while it's likely unreasonable to ask that this be ported over into 7.2.x, could some work be done to make libbacktrace fail more gracefully if GCC is built without compressed debug section support enabled?
