Relocation errors with latest binutils

Relocation errors with latest binutils

[Ken Brown]

With binutils-2.24.51-1 the build of xetex.exe (part of TeX Live) fails 
with relocation errors like the following:

g++ -g -O2 -o xetex.exe xetexdir/xetex-xetexextra.o 
synctexdir/xetex-synctex.o xetex-xetexini.o xetex-xetex0.o 
xetex-xetex-pool.o libxetex.a

relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against 
`.text$_ZNK2OT19SubstLookupSubTable8dispatchINS_25hb_get_coverage_context_tEEENT_8return_tEPS3_j'

[and many more relocation errors]

Note that stdc++ is linked statically in the build of xetex.exe.  I 
don't know if this is relevant, but it might explain why the build of 
xetex.exe is the only one that fails.  The problem doesn't occur with 
binutils-2.23.52-5.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Download the source:

   rsync -av --exclude=.svn tug.org::tldevsrc/Build/source .

2. Build TeX Live:

   cd source/
   TL_CONFIGURE_ARGS="--disable-luajittex" TL_MAKE_FLAGS="-j5" ./Build

(Change -j5 to whatever you like.)

3. Wait for the failure.

4. Now revert binutils to the previous version and retry to build xetex.exe:

   cd Work/texk/web2c
   make xetex.exe

This succeeds.

This seems to be the same problem reported by Yaakov last year; see the 
long thread starting at 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-developers/2013-04/msg00055.html and 
continuing into May and June.  Corinna announced a fix in 
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-apps/2013-06/msg00057.html; is it possible 
that the fix didn't make it into the latest binutils?

It has not been applied yet, in fact.  My collegue is just looking into
that and will pull it in today if it passes the testsuite.

Fortunately we need a new binutils soon anyway :}
