This might be related to an older bug 82630 that fixed a similar issue for
R_386_GOTPC relocations.
Chromium OS bug: https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1171829
We are hitting a similar problem when upgrading to GCC 10.2.1 in Chrome OS. the
affected files are in glibc 2.27 where the presence of R_386_GOTOFF is causing
LLD linker to complain. This is breaking static linking on 32-bit for us.
The errors look like:
ld.lld: error: dl-close.c:(.debug_info+0x1E6A): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC3'
ld.lld: error: dl-profile.c:(.debug_info+0x1A7C): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC4'
ld.lld: error: dl-lookup.c:(.debug_info+0x23FA): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC8'
ld.lld: error: dl-reloc.c:(.debug_info+0x3555): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC7'
ld.lld: error: dl-load.c:(.debug_info+0x1B1C): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC65'
ld.lld: error: malloc.c:(.debug_info+0x28D5): has non-ABS relocation
R_386_GOTOFF against symbol '.LC2'
ld.lld: error: plural.c:(.debug_loc+0xFA4): has non-ABS relocation R_386_GOTOFF
against symbol 'yyr2'
It was suggested on the bug by Fangrui who is our LLD expert that this might be
a GCC bug.
"Relocations from .debug_info referencing .text.* can only be absolute
relocation types or DTPREL (TLS)-like."
There was a previous fix for a similar bug:
https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git&a=commit;h=6b10f1741a1d79c9e32e8790fb98ba93c864b219
. Maybe the fix needs to be extended to handle the R_386_GOTOFF relocations.
I am attaching one of the files LLD is complaining (dl-close.c) with
intermediate steps and output of "-v" command line. The assembler being used is
GNU assembler 2.35.1.
Please let me know if more information is needed.
