           Summary: Useless `error in <object>; no .eh_frame_hdr table
                    will be created' message
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
              Host: i386-pc-solaris2.*
            Target: i386-pc-solaris2.*
             Build: i386-pc-solaris2.*


When bootstrapping GCC mainline on Solaris 8 and 9/x86 with gas and gld, I came
across the error message

/usr/sfw/bin/gld: error in /var/tmp//cctJaGJm.o(.eh_frame); no .eh_frame_hdr
table will be created.

Unfortunately, this message is completely useless as is since there is no
indication whatsoever where the error lies.  Unless you can figure this out
with the help of readelf or elfdump, you'll have to build binutils with
debugging information and run ld under a debugger to find what's wrong.

In this case, it turned out to be another instance of a known problem (EH data
after a ZERO terminator), but the message should be much more specific to ease
the investigation.
