Hi, The problem here is with section anchors turned on, we generate a BSS rather than a local common symbol and we no longer match the pattern: "_ZGVZ3foovE1x,8,8". This fixes this testcase by just adding -fno-section-anchors. Thanks, Andrew Pinski 2012-11-06 Andrew Pinski * g++.dg/abi/aarch64_guard1.C: Add -fno-section-anchors.
