Subject: [PATCH] Fix segfault relocating debugging sections on powerpc-*-linux-gnu
Date: Thu, 29 Jul 1999 16:52:00 -0000
Message-id: <19990729195420.A20264@them.org>

When the attached testcase is compiled on powerpc-linux with 'c++ -fPIC
-shared -g segvtest.cc' it causes a SEGV in the linker.  Franz Sirl
noticed that elf32-i386.c specifically avoids relocations in sections
with SEC_DEBUGGING set; this patch adds the same to elf32-ppc.c.  It
also copies the warning from elf32-i386.c in the same situation; the if
condition here (here being elf32-ppc.c:3000 or so) does not obviously
guarantee that output_section will not be NULL, and there could be
other cases it misses.  I see no reason to have ld segfault
mysteriously :)

I would have added a testcase, but the organization of ld/testsuite/
eludes me.
