https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23573 --- Comment #12 from Benjamin Redelings --- Hi Nick, Thanks for the input. So far I've just looked at the strace log that I uploaded, and you are right that archives are getting opened repeatedly. There are three archive filesand they get opened a lot of times: * librb-core.a: opened 787 times * librb-revlanguage.a: opened 581 times * librb-lib.a: opened 20 times This seems to be related to the number of objects in each archive: * librb-core.a: 633 objects * librb-revlanguage.a: 594 objects * librb-lib: 19 objects However, its possible the number of opens is incomplete, since the later opens started failing due to too many open files. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23573 --- Comment #14 from Benjamin Redelings --- I tried running the linker under gdb, but apparently the debian package has stripped out all the debug symbols. Usually you can unstall them in a separate *-dbg package, but I don't see one for the mingw binutils. So, I can investigate how to compile the mingw ld from source, but if there is a good place to upload the archive files, I might wait on that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. ___ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils

[Bug binutils/23573] "Too many open files" and binutils 2.31.1-1

--- Comment #18 from Benjamin Redelings

Hi Nick,
Thank you so much for looking into this.
I reran the exact same command and now it works with the linker plugin just
fine. I also check using /proc, and the linker process has about 30 open
files. I have done some package upgrades, and it looks like a patch for Debug
bug 928214 ("Configure LTO support correctly",
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=928214) may be the one that
fixed the problem.
In any case, for the benefit of any future triggerers of this bug:
1. The problem is probably with GCC, not binutils.
2. I was not using native mingw binutils, I was using Debian's linux-native
cross compiler.
Referring to the bug report above, one possible explanation is that
* the LTO plugin was misconfigured in autoconf
* this caused gcc to fall back to the lto-wrapper helper and NOT use the linker
plugin
* the lto-wrapper help creates N open file descriptors for an archive
containing N objects.
* the actual lto-plugin works fine.
This is somewhat speculative, but might hopefully give someone a path to
explore if they run into this again.
