Given this small C source
/* foo.c */
extern char global_var;
main () { global_var = 1; }
/* EOF */
should result in an executable with undefined symbols, shouldn't it?
...
As you can see, "global_var" is still undefined. This problem isn't
new, I can easily reproduce it with binutils-2.7 - funnily, we've been
using this linker already without problems for many million lines of
C/C++ code :-?
Judging by the howto fields in coff-m88k.c, all m88k relocs are
handled by the function m88k_special_reloc in that file. That
function does not seem to check for undefined symbols when handling
the R_HVRT16 and R_LVRT16 reloc types. Since it returns bfd_reloc_ok
for those types, no further checking will be done. It should return
bfd_reloc_undefined instead for an undefined symbol. See
bfd_perform_relocation.
