Bug ID: 22948
Summary: Modify ld search path to match libxxx.lib
Product: binutils
Version: 2.27
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: ryan.gl.scott at gmail dot com
CC: tnfchris at sourceware dot org
Target Milestone: ---
Target: mingw32
According to https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/WIN32.html for Windows the
standard shared library search order is:
```
For instance, when ld is called with the argument ‘-lxxx’ it will attempt to
find, in the first directory of its search path,
libxxx.dll.a
xxx.dll.a
libxxx.a
xxx.lib
cygxxx.dll (*)
libxxx.dll
xxx.dll
```
Could the search path be changed to
```
libxxx.dll.a
xxx.dll.a
libxxx.a
xxx.lib
libxxx.lib <-- new
cygxxx.dll (*)
libxxx.dll
xxx.dll
```
This way projects like PostgreSQL, which name their import libraries libpq.lib,
will use the import library instead of trying to link to libpq.dll directly
which, due to its imagebase outside the 4gb range, will end up truncating the
R_X86_64_PC32 relocation.
