When compiling on MinGW under cmd.exe it's necessary to use @FILE to work
around the 32k limit on arguments when linking a large number of objects.

Unfortunately for some reason collect2.exe does not forward the file to ld.exe
but instead appears to send its contents as arguments to CreateProcess()
leading to the error:

collect2: CreateProcess: No such file or directory

Which is the typically unhelpful way for Windows to report this problem and
something that led me on a 4 day goose-chase looking for the "missing" file or
directory.

Really if I tell collect2 to use a response file it's absolutely essential it
uses it internally or else finds some other way around the 32k barrier (like
piping to stdin).

I totally thought this was fixed in 4.5.0 when support was added because of
LTO.

Can you provide the output of the -v command when you get that error?  Also
what version of ld are you using?

Created an attachment (id=21862)
 --> (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=21862&action=view)
output of collect2.exe @file --verbose -debug

Attached --verbose -debug output of collect2

Also:
D:\SpringTest\debug\rts\builds\default>collect2 -v
collect2 version 4.5.0 (x86 MinGW)
C:\MinGW32\bin/ld.exe -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.20.51.20100613

I believe this bug affects 4.5.1 as well because I've been fighting this bug
for days and I've been through numerous official and TDM builds which all
seemed affected by this or related issues.

btw, I can confirm the arguments passed to ld are 33491 characters long so this
is definitely over the 32k mark

See the code in collect_execute:
  if (HAVE_GNU_LD && at_file_supplied && argv[0] != NULL)
    {
      /* If using @file arguments, create a temporary file and put the
         contents of argv into it.  Then change argv to an array corresponding
         to a single argument @FILE, where FILE is the temporary filename.  */


So maybe HAVE_GNU_LD is not true when it should be.

Or collect2 is not invoked with a response file.

That's not the case. g++.exe is correctly passing the response file to
collect2.exe which I've verified through debugging output and running
collect2.exe by hand.

------- Comment #9 from bogus2 at arc dot net dot au  2010-09-22 20:16 -------
There's sections in configure and configure.ac that set HAVE_GNU_LD in
confdefs.h. My hunch is neither the official builds or the TDM builds are
enabling it (there's a --with-gnu-ld flag but it looks like it also sniffs the
output ld -v). I've added a report to the TDM bug tracker to determine if this
is the issue.

So why is this doing the correct thing when supplying the --with-gnu-ld option
versus the fact that we have GNU ld and the configure script discovers it?  It
seems to me the bug would be in the configure process.

GCC is to blame here, not Windows. See PR 107007 for a suggestion how to
improve it.
