I am trying to link some code and I get the following from the link step:
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault]
/usr/bin/ld: build/x86-64.linux/gcc64/cc-O2/clientTest.o: bad relocation
section name `'
I can make this happen with either -O2 or -g compiled code. If I comment out
one line of code then the problem goes away. It is not possible for me to
provide a simple example because it happens at link time. I updated my system
last night (this was a fresh build for a new computer) and thus I have the
latest binutils.
It does seem that the asm step is generating the bad relo name so I imagine
that is where the problem is.
If you have any suggestions on who I can produce an example then let knom. I
could tar up the object files and libraries so that one could observe the
linker blowing up. Happy to do so, unless this is a known problem. Any other
advice on how to see where the problem might be would be helpful. At this
point, I do think it is a bug, but I have no way of knowing that for sure and
need to some help to figure it out.
