collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 , during compilation of busybox

[Valère Monseur]

Here is how to reproduce the problem:

wget http://busybox.net/downloads/busybox-1.27.2.tar.bz2
tar xvjf busybox-1.27.2.tar.bz2
cd busybox-1.27.2
make defconfig
make CFLAGS='-static -O2'

Cheers,
V.

Hi,

I'm running archlinux with glibc 2.26, binutils 2.29 and gcc 7.2.0.
When compiling busybox (1.27.2, or 1.26.2), the build fails with the error:

....
Static linking against glibc, can't use --gc-sections
Trying libraries: crypt m
  Library crypt is not needed, excluding it
  Library m is needed, can't exclude it (yet)

I've also tried building with the binutils snapshot 2.29.1 and I have the same 
error.
I've attached the full log of the build.

Anything special I should do about this?
Thanks
