I'm having a "linker" error (according to Martin Liška) when
compiling a SPEC test (x264_r) with a vendor branch under development  (my optimization is done at LTO time.)

The binutils on my development machine is the version
that came with Ubuntu 18.02. Do I need to install a more
current version of binutils?

Thanks,

Gary Oblock

Just try?  Or at least tell us which version ships with Ubuntu 18.02 ...

You likely have version 2.30 (3 years old). Anyway I would test the latest binutils release.
Moreover, you can also experiment with ld.gold.

Cheers,
Martin

Fair enough...

$ ld -V
GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Ubuntu) 2.30
