In msep-data/libstdc++-v3/config.log there is an earlier link failure which
causes gcc_no_link=yes:

The link does not fail when the GCC 4.6 crtbegin.o/crtend.o binaries are used:

Two new features in GCC 4.7 libgcc/crtstuff.c (was gcc/crtstuff.c in GCC 4.6)
controlled by USE_INITFINI_ARRAY and USE_™_CLONE_REGISTRY:

USE_INITFINI_ARRAY is defined in gcc/config/initfini-array.h if
HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY_SUPPORT is defined:

#ifdef HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY_SUPPORT

#define USE_INITFINI_ARRAY

It is not defined in cross-gcc-4.7-20120908/gcc/auto-host.h:

/* #undef HAVE_INITFINI_ARRAY_SUPPORT */

I assume the definition is controlled by the new --enable-initfini-array GCC
configure option.

USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY is defined in libgcc/crtstuff.c if it is not already
defined and OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF is defined:

#if !defined(USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY) && defined(OBJECT_FORMAT_ELF)
# define USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY 1
#endif

This permits USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY to be defined as 0 elsewhere to disable the
feature, as is done for OpenVMS/Alpha in gcc/config/alpha/vms.h.

Don't know if -fgnu-tm depends on USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY.  (How can it?  It is
only set to 1 in crtstuff.c.)  I'm guessing that code emitted for -fgnu-tm will
fail to link when USE_TM_CLONE_REGISTRY is 0.

Perhaps all that is required is to fix the attributes of section
.tm_clone_table.

In the mean time, apply the same fix used for OpenMVS/Alpha to
gcc/config/m68k/uclinux.h (this patch is good for both GCC 4.7 and GCC 4.8):

I found that the -msep-data link would succeed if program section
.tm_clone_table has a non-zero length.

I changed __JCR_LIST__[] and __TMC_LIST__[] to __JCR_LIST__[1] and
__TMC_LIST__[1], respectively, in
gcc-4.7-20120908/libgcc/crtstuff.c.

The program sections in the original crtbegin.o have 0 length for program
section .tm_clone_table:

I do not know if this results in a correctly allocated or populated
.tm_clone_table.  All I know is that the zero length allocation caused the link
failure.  Is this due to the ALLOC attribute with 0 length?  Is this a
consequence of __attribute__((used))?

The Sourcery (Mentor Graphics) ColdFire uClinux SDK I use uses binutils-1.21. 
I installed binutils-2.22 and the latest uClinux elf2flt (downloaded 20120730).

$ /usr/local/gcc-4.7.1/bin/m68k-uclinux-ld -V -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22
  Supported emulations:
   m68kelf
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.22

The error message is the same (Nonrepresentable section on output).

I am able to issue the failing command (collect2) outside of make gcc:

We can see that the size 0 .tm_clone_table section from crtbegin.o/crtend.o
does not appear in the elf32-m68k executable (conftest):

The Nonrepresentable... error message comes from the binutils bfd library:

$ find . -type f -exec grep Nonrepresentable {} ';' -ls
  N_("Nonrepresentable section on output"),
2461573630      104 -rw-r--r--    1 baker    wheel       49841 Jul 11  2011
./binutils-2.22/bfd/bfd.c

I don't know where in bfd the error occurs -- there are many bfd_set_error
(bfd_error_nonrepresentable_section) calls.

I assume that "normal" ld uses bfd.  So, what is it about Flat Binary
-msep-data (-fPIC) code that is causing the problem?

I will raise the issue on the uClinux user forum as well.

I don't know how to attach gdb to the ld.real called by collect2.  So, I added
a bunch of debugging output to bfd/elflink.c to find out where the failure
occurs.  (I'll attach my hacked version.)

Here's the link without -elf2flt and with -elf2flt.  The object files/libraries
are the same, yet the program sections that ld.real sees are quite different.

I have to move on to more pressing problems.  Since I don't need Transactional
Memory support anyway, I'm happy enough to use my patch which disables it for
uClinux and move on.

Hacked binutils 1.22 bfd/elflink.c

I added a bunch of debugging output to bfd/elflink.c to find out where the link
failure occurs.

This seems to be just a problem with flawed elf2flt linker placement of
orphaned sections.  But, I can't find where -elf2flt is handled in FSF
binutils; you need to talk to whomever is in charge of the local uclinux linker
patches.

For a linker fix, either add a "${RELOCATING+*(.tm_clone_table)}" in the .text
or .data output section of the default linker script or improve the elf2flt
orphaned section placement, similar to what I did in
<http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2012-09/msg00101.html> as a partial fix for
PR54373. (It fixes the main problem, but I found others.)  Generic ELF already
has good enough orphaned-section placement that no real ELF target has any
problem with .tm_clone_table actually being an orphaned section for all
targets.

Of course, an alternative is to cover up by disabling transactional memory,
likely the most pragmatic solution; I'm guessing TM is of little interest to
uclinux targets. :)

Hans-Peter,

Thanks for looking at this.

This seems a bit more complicated than "just a problem with flawed elf2flt
linker placement of
orphaned sections" since elf2flt/ld.real work fine when creating flat binaries
for cases other than -msep-data/-fPIC.  That implies that they must be handling
the orphaned .tm_clone_table section for those cases (a bunch of different
-mcpu's).  I don't know where to look to find out how -msep-data/-fPIC are
handled differently, and thus, why those fail.

FYI: For the latest tests I ran, I used a vanilla binutils 1.22 distribution --
no uClinux linker patches.  I also used the latest elf2flt from
www.uclinux.org.

I also cannot find where -elf2flt is recognized/handled by collect2.  I have no
idea what collect2 does.  I tracked down the location of the error to ld.real,
which is the binutils ld, renamed to ld.real by the elf2flt package "make
install".

When I read about TM support, it sounded like it might be preferable to
pthreads.  If that is so, then I expect uClinux would be a good candidate for
TM.

I will take a look at your fix.  The details of how to write ld scripts and
such are beyond my current understanding of the process.  I learn what I have
to when I encounter a problem.  I was hoping someone that knows what to look
for would see what I have provided and instantly figure out what the problem
is. :)

binutils 1.22 is a typo -- I meant to say binutils 2.22.
