Re: Bug in GNU ld at elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol with gcc-3.3

[Martin Aumueller]

I tried binutils 2.14.90.0.4, with exactly the same result.

Please download http://www.hlrs.de/people/aumueller/bug-ld-elf32-i386.tar.gz
for a case that triggers the problem. There is a script called link containing
the exact command line -- the order of the files seems to be important.
It didn't work either when used with gcc-3.2 from Redhat 8.0.
I hope that this is what you mean by a small testcase.

Thank you very much for your help,
Martin
