PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
under certain circumstances, Thumb interworking code is not
generated correctlyby GNU LD. it is full of NULLs.
with arm-elf-ld:
- if you have --gc-sections enabled
- if you have asm in ARM mode with -mthumb-interwork
- asm code contains an "ax" section .VhaInit with instructions
- if you have a C file in Thumb mode -mthumb with -mthumb-interwork
- if asm code is positioned before C generated code
using --section-start whereas .text is positioned later with -Ttext
- if you prevent garbage-collection of .VhaInit using instructions
from .text to access .VhaInit
then, the thumb interworking code is zero.
WORKAROUND
the interworking code is generated correctly if you place -Ttext before
--section-start.
