--- Comment #7 from Tobias Burnus <burnus at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
The gcc/configure check has the following comment:
# Require GNU ld or gold 2.21+ for plugin support by default.
# Allow -fuse-linker-plugin to enable plugin support in GNU gold 2.20.
In the driver the difference comes via HAVE_LTO_PLUGIN - and only when set, the
.res files are produced. On the CentOS6 machine, Binutils is too old, hence
also -fuse-linker-plugin is not supported.
Regarding this PR: I think either LTO should be disabled with an error message
or lto1 be modified to not ICE when the .res data is not available.
