Subject: PR16056, objcopy -R .gnu_debuglink failure on binary created by gold
Date: Thu, 17 Oct 2013 10:03:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20131017100320.GO20756@bubble.grove.modra.org> (raw)

The testcase in PR16056 has a bunch of zero length unallocated
.gnu.warning sections adjacent to the last alloc section.

  [28] .got              PROGBITS        437b5d50 0c5d50 000c04 00  WA  0   0  4
  [29] .bss              NOBITS          437b6958 0c6954 0000c5 00  WA  0   0  8
  [30] .gnu.warning.snd_names_list PROGBITS        00000000 0c6954 000000 00      0   0  1

I'm not sure how they were created in the first place (gold bug
perhaps?) but their zero addresses wreak havoc with the segment
address calculations in copy_elf_program_header.  The PR correctly
fingers a bfd fix of mine from 2010 for zero length alloc sections,
which happened to expose another bug.  Fixed as follows.  Applying
mainline and branch.

	PR 16056
	* elf.c (copy_elf_program_header): Only consider SEC_ALLOC sections
	when finding lowest_section.
