Re: GNU Linker Utility Assert

[Charles_Triemstra]

Hi Tom.

I have attached the test case.


(See attached file: ldassert.tar)


For me, at least having the name of the symbol displayed would have helped
pin-point what I needed to change to  have the link
complete.

Yes.  I agree.
Changing the linker assertion is fine but the message needs to be
changed since this is more a problem with an invalid function descriptor
symbol than a relocation.    I will take care of it.

Symbol creation problems should be caught in the assembler.

To make sure the correct problem is fixed I need a testcase.
