Bug ID: 21334
Summary: [MIPS] Undefined hidden symbols cause assertion
failure bfd/elfxx-mips.c:3860
Product: binutils
Version: 2.28
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: ld
Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
Reporter: james410 at cowgill dot org.uk
Target Milestone: ---
Originally from the Debian supermin package:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=supermin&arch=mipsel&ver=5.1.17-7%2Bb1&stamp=1490538317&raw=0
And possibly related to a bug mentioned in PR/21233
Attempting to link any object containing an undefined hidden symbol causes ld
to give an assertion failure.
$ cat test.c
extern int a __attribute__((visibility("hidden")));
int x(void)
{
a = 1;
}
$ mipsel-linux-gnu-gcc -c test.c
$ readelf --syms test.o

../build-mips/ld/ld-new: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.28.51.20170330 assertion fail
../../binutils-gdb/bfd/elfxx-mips.c:3860
test.o: In function `x':
test.c:(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `a'
The bug in supermin was actually caused by musl's use of this feature in
__libc_start_main, so I suspect that nothing will be able to link against musl
libc when using binutils 2.28.
