I still having this problem. I am trying to build an app on Ubuntu 16.04 using a separated gcc-toolchain (gcc-4.7.4-linux_x86_64). This toolchain comes from Mentor Questa which I have to use to build my SystemC applications. A simple hello world using this toolchain reproduces the problem.
#include <stdio.h> int main() { fprintf(stdout, "Hello, world.\n"); return(0); } I managed to solve that removing the ld which comes with the external toolchain by the ld from the system. A simple symbolic link had solved the problem. However, I am looking for a more elegant way to change ld like a gcc flag or an environment variable. I would like to ask if someone has some idea on how to do that. By the way, my system is currently configured with: Package: binutils - Version: 2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3 Package: libgcc1 - Version: 6.0.1-0ubuntu1 Package: libc6 - Version: 2.23-0ubuntu3 Package: gcc - Version: 5.3.1-1ubuntu1 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to binutils in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1545653 Title: Unrecognized relocation when compiling Status in binutils: Fix Released Status in binutils package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am trying to compile a program against a library that was built using gcc 5.3 on Wily, which has gcc 5.2.1.
