Hello Nick,

The problem is in the ld,

This Segfault comes from mips24ke_nfp_be-ld

I want to know if there is some problem which else if you have some pointers you can suggest it

 

I did some basic debugging, i get the following

address@hidden binutils]$ gdb mips24ke_nfp_be-ld

~

(gdb) r main.o

Starting program: /home/uma/binutils/toolchain_mips24ke_nfp_be/bin/mips24ke_nfp_be-ld main.o

~

/home/uma/binutils/toolchain_mips24ke_nfp_be/bin/mips24ke_nfp_be-ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol __start; defaulting to 00000000004000b0

 

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

htab_traverse (htab=0x0, callback=0x8098370 <mips_elf_create_la25_stub>,

    info=0xbf94d8a4) at ../../libiberty/hashtab.c:762

762       if (htab_elements (htab) * 8 < htab_size (htab))

(gdb) where

#0  htab_traverse (htab=0x0, callback=0x8098370 <mips_elf_create_la25_stub>,

    info=0xbf94d8a4) at ../../libiberty/hashtab.c:762

#3  0x0805dadc in main (argc=Cannot access memory at address 0x0

) at ../../ld/ldmain.c:468

(gdb) print htab

$1 = (htab_t) 0x0

If you have some work around, you can suggest.

I took the patches from the CVS of Binutils - 1.247

http://sourceware.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/bfd/elfxx-mips.c?cvsroot=src&logsort=date

There were many chnages in the elfxx_mips.c. in this version.

Hi VIJAYENDRA,

> After applying the patch for 2.247 of elfxx-mips.c,
 >  when i compile i get segfault

Please could you try using the latest version of the linker (ie one 
built from the head of the mainline binutils cvs sources).  If the 
problem still exists, please could you open a bug report here:

   http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/

Please include in the description a simple way to reproduce the problem, 
including the command line that you are using and the the configuration 
of the linker, and also a pointer to where this 2.247 patch can be found.

Cheers
   Nick Clifton
