             Bug #: 14533
           Summary: large (88M) ICC compiled .obj files inside .a archive
                    confuse / error the gold linker
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.23 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden

    Classification: Unclassified


I'm trying to port some of my company code to work with the gold linker.
I got the gcc build working perfectly, but when building with icc-12 (intel
compiler), I get an error when linking something that links against a static
archive (.a) that contains one object (.o) file with some section that are
apparently larger than the spec. That .o is 88M large, and is built with
debugging symbols.

This might be an ICC bug, but the BFD linker happily link the resulting binary,
so I wonder if this is rather a gold bug / improvement.

How can I move forward with that ? I don't have the error log right now (will
post it tomorrow), but can I do some operations (with say objdump) on that .o
file so you guys can troubleshoot the problem ?

Best,
- Benjamin
