--- Comment #26 from Andrew Paprocki <andrew at ishiboo dot com> ---
Just re-summarizing now for 2020 since there have been a few twists and tur=
ns
and distractions.

This issue has nothing to do with CMake, -brtl, or -bexpall linker flags. T=
his
issue only occurs when GCC is told to pass the -bsvr4 linker flag, because =
the
application wishes to use multiple -R parameters as documented in the man p=
age
(see comment 14). When that occurs, the error in this ticket happens.

The already applied patches to GCC mentioned throughout the bug do not chan=
ge
any behavior -- it still fails to link.

David, can you or someone on the linker team determine if this is an issue =
with
the GCC side of things, or it is simply a bug in the linker? It is difficult
for an outsider to determine if this is purely on the linker side or if GCC=
 is
not conforming somehow to what the linker expects.=
