@Tamar.Christina

I have created public repository on github and placed 'procmon' log file
there:

https://github.com/fskoras/CreateProcess-gcc-issue/blob/master/Logfile.CSV

You can also clone the repository if you want to try to recreate the issue:

I have executed the as.exe directly and it worked without problems:

D:/Tools/x86_64-12.2.0-release-win32-seh-rt_v10-rev0/mingw64/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/as.exe
--version

@fedor_qd

I have checked version 11.2.0 and the same problem occurs


binutils version used for both versions:

gcc x86_64-11.2.0: GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.37

gcc x86_64-12.2.0: GNU assembler (GNU Binutils) 2.38

R.
