           Summary: ld fails to convert global hidden symbols to local
                    ones
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


Created attachment 5183
  --> http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=5183
trivial example

The version of the spec I have says "A hidden symbol contained in a relocatable
object must be either removed or converted to STB_LOCAL binding by the
link-editor when the relocatable object is included in an executable file or
shared object." Nevertheless I see global hidden symbols in executables.

Attaching a trivial sample, to be run through

as -o hidden.o hidden.s
ld -o hidden hidden.o
objdump -t hidden
