            Bug ID: 26031
           Summary: exec_is_pie doesn't work with gold
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: testsuite
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: vries at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

There's a proc exec_is_pie in gdb.exp, which works by checking for the PIE flag
in the elf dynamic flags, as displayed by readelf -d.

This doesn't work when we're using the gold linker, since it doesn't add such a
flag, so this results in a lot of unnecessary:
...
gdb compile failed, pie failed to generate PIE executable
...

--- Comment #1 from Tom de Vries <vries at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Perhaps we should use this instead:

-no-pie:
...
$ gcc hello.c
$ readelf -h a.out | grep Type:
  Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)
$ gcc hello.c -fuse-ld=gold
$ readelf -h a.out | grep Type:
  Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)
...

vs -pie:
...
$ gcc hello.c -fPIE -pie
$ readelf -h a.out | grep Type:
  Type:                              DYN (Shared object file)
$ gcc hello.c -fuse-ld=gold -fPIE -pie
$ readelf -h a.out | grep Type:
  Type:                              DYN (Shared object file)
...

    [gdb/testsuite] Fix exec_is_pie with gold linker

    When running test-case gdb.base/break-interp.exp with target board gold, we
    run into:
    ...
    gdb compile failed, pie failed to generate PIE executable
    ...

    The problem is that the proc exec_is_pie uses the PIE flag in the readelf
-d
    output, which doesn't seem to be set by the gold linker.

    Instead, use the "Type" field in the readelf -h output.

    Tested on x86_64-linux.

            * lib/gdb.exp (exec_is_pie): Test readelf -h output.

Isn't that also a bug in gold?
