Could you summarize the bug and what needs fixing, assuming the reader has not looked through #620815 carefully? In particular, from glancing through that bug report, it is not clear to me: - Is the warning | /usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res:1:19: ignoring SEARCH_DIR; SEARCH_DIR is only valid for scripts specified via -T/--script relevant? What does the linker script use SEARCH_DIR for and why is the script not specified via --script? Is that a bug in fp-compiler or is ld being inappropriately picky? - What exactly happens when the compiled program crashes? Is it killed by a signal, and if so, by which signal? Does anyone know why? Is it possible to get interesting LD_DEBUG output or a backtrace? - What changes will binutils-gold need in order to support what fp-compiler is trying to do? Are those good changes? Reassigning to fp-compiler for triage; please feel free to reassign back when you have an explanation or a minimal testcase (meaning, in particular: one that does not involve running fpc). Thanks for looking into this. Regards, Jonathan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
