Summary: Multilib gold mixes up 32 and 64 bit when relinking
empty lib
Product: binutils
Version: 2.22 (HEAD)
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: gold
AssignedTo: i...@airs.com
ReportedBy: z...@linux.fjfi.cvut.cz
Host: x86_64-linux-gnu
Target: x86_64-linux-gnu multilib

Test showing the relink with ld.bfd and ld.gold.
Using gold on x86_64 with -m elf_i386 produces an ELF64 object when used like
this:
# create an empty static lib
ar rc empty.a
# relink with gold
ld.gold -m elf_i386 -r -o relinked-gold.o empty.a
file relinked-gold.o
relinked-gold.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not
stripped
while the output should be an ELF32 object.
With ld.bfd the output is as expected (ELF32 object). Reproducible with 2.21
and with cvs HEAD.
As soon as any non-empty ELF32 object is added to the invocation of gold the
result is correct (ELF32).
While this is a strange usecase, it appears in real world - I run into it when
building linux kernel for x86 on x86_64.
