It would be great, if somebody from the developers could take a look
on this cross-compilation related bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29389
It affects quite a few people and blocks us from advancing...
Thank you for your great tool!

I guess it would help quite a bit if a simpler repro was made
available. I don't think what is provided in the bugzilla entry
is quite suitable for anyone not familiar with MingW.

That's the problem - this bug doesn't occur on a regular Linux...
But maybe one, who is familiar with the internals of binutils, can
guess what is wrong, being provided with the file names and lines:
binutils-gdb/bfd/cofflink.c:2279
binutils-gdb/bfd/coff-x86_64.c:696
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29389
Thank you!

If you don't have a Windows machine to install MSYS2:
https://www.msys2.org/
We would be more than happy to follow your instructions in a live
session (e.g. via IRC, etc) and provide you
with the outputs, logs, screenshots and screen sharing...
Thank you!

I'm sorry, the reality is that trying to debug remotely is extremely
time consuming and frustrating for everyone involved.

All that says to me is "something went wrong", likely long before
the assertions triggered.
If you expect someone to look at your bug, you need to package up a
set of object files so that someone can reproduce the problem by
running the linker on an entirely different machine. Note that the
inputs to the linker are needed, not source files. We don't want to
and can't debug your compiler for you.. That means *all* the inputs
to ld, so system libraries too. Please do test that what you package
up is a complete testcase, by running a cross-linker on a non-windows
machine.

Thank you, Alan, for your response!
Luca has provided some important information on this issue:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=29389#c2
1. Do you still need some more input on this?
2. Is there a chance that the fix for this will enter the version 2.39?
Thank you!
