Subject: linker error with gcc flag -mfunction-return=thunk
Date: Mon, 25 Jun 2018 12:41:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <67f4ac9a-5fe8-14d2-031f-288bbfccfc7a@ssi-schaefer.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm encountering a package's configure script (openssh-7.7p1) that
successfully tests for the compiler flag "-mfunction-return=thunk",
which causes subsequent linker errors (and fails to identify zlib):
relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32S against `.text'
The compiler used is gcc-7.3.0 with binutils-2.29.1.20171006 (current),
and the easiest test case here is:
$ echo 'int main() { return 0; }' > conftest.c
$ gcc -mfunction-return=thunk conftest.c
/tmp/ccv1Ird0.o:conftest.c:(.text+0x1a): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32S against `.text'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Not sure though where to finally report this problem:
* openssh, as they should do a link-test rather than compile-test
* gcc, as their generated code is wrong for cygwin
* binutils, as their ld is unable to link that code
* cygwin, as the maintainers of cygwin support in binutils+gcc
After all, openssh-7.7p1-1.src cygwin package currently fails to compile.
Thanks!
