            Bug ID: 110659
           Summary: Error from linker: .eh_frame_hdr refers to overlapping
                    FDEs
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.1.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: bootstrap
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: townsend at astro dot wisc.edu
  Target Milestone: ---

I'm running into the following problem during a build of the 13.1.0 release:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -std=c++11   -g -DIN_GCC     -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti
-fasynchronous-unwind-tables -W -Wall -Wno-narrowing -Wwrite-strings

-Wno-overlength-strings -fno-common  -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -DGENERATOR_FILE
-static-libstdc++ -static-libgcc  -o build/genenums \
            build/genenums.o build/read-md.o build/errors.o
../build-x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/libiberty/libiberty.a
/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk/bin/ld: .eh_frame_hdr refers to overlapping FDEs
/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This is on Linux with binutils-2.40. Configure as follows:

/home/user/sdk2-tmp/build/gcc/configure CC= CXX= --build=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
--prefix=/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk --with-gmp=/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk
--with-mpfr=/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk --with-mpc=/home/user/sdk2-tmp/mesasdk
--enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --disable-multilib --disable-nls
--disable-libsanitizer --enable-clocale=generic

Wondering whether any of these config flags are what's causing the problem...

I should add that this is on CentOS 5.11, running inside a Docker container.
This ships with a very old binutils, so before trying to compile gcc I
installed binutils 2.40 (built from source with --disable-gprofng).

What compiler did you start with?
That is what is the output of `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -v` ?

To build an GCC 13, you might need to bootstrap GCC 10 (which is just c++98
code rather than C++11) and then bootstrap GCC 13.

Someone else seems to have the same problem:

GCC 13 won't build with anything older than GCC 4.8.x as documented at
https://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html (which is right now for the
trunk but that requirement has not changed yet).

The plot thickens -- I misidentified the compiler, here's the correct id:

So, 12.1.0 should be perfectly capable of building 13.1, right?

OK, I managed to get things working by setting

export LDFLAGS='-Wl,--no-eh-frame-hdr'

prior to configuring. I'm hoping this won't affect the functionality of the
built compiler.

I hit this error in stage1 after a small change to pa.cc.  It seems to
have gone after updating to Debian binutils 2.42-2.  I just rebuilt
without any changes to gcc tree.

The error occurred with binutils 2.41.90.20240122-1.
