The warning comes only when CFLAGS "-g -ggdb" are given and this seems
to be an issue with clang. I am seeing some related bugs on llvm
mailing list.
https://www.mail-archive.com/llvm-bugs@lists.llvm.org/msg05498.html
http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/llvm-bugs/2016-July/048288.html
Even a simple c program with a TLS variable creates this warning.
For eg:
----------------- test.c -------------------
__thread int a;
int main() {
return 0;
}
--------------------------------------------
$ gcc -g -ggdb test.c
$ clang -g -ggdb test.c
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/test-50ceac.o(.debug_info+0x37): R_AARCH64_ABS64
used with TLS symbol a
$
Thanks
