Hi, When linking a large executable file for AArch64, gold might put a relaxed section to a wrong position. Here is a simplified reproducer: $ cat > test.s << EOF .globl _start, foo, bar .section ".text.start", "ax" _start: bl foo .space 0x7000000 .section ".text.bar", "ax" bar: .space 0x1000000 .size bar, .-bar .section ".text.foo", "ax" foo: b _start EOF $ aarch64-linux-gnu-as test.s -o test.o $ ./gold-master test.o -o test.out $ nm -S test.out | grep "foo\|bar" 00000000074000c4 0000000001000000 T bar 00000000084000b4 T foo As you can see, the address for 'foo' lays inside 'bar', and so does the content of its section.

Best regards, Igor Kudrin --- gold/ChangeLog * aarch64.cc (AArch64_relobj::convert_input_section_to_relaxed_section): Set the section offset to -1ULL. (Target_aarch64::relocate_section): Adjust the view in case of a relaxed input section. * testsuite/Makefile.am (pr21430): New test. * testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate * testsuite/pr21430.s: New test source file. * testsuite/pr21430.sh: New test script.
