--- Comment #58 from CVS Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jakub Jelinek <ja...@gcc.gnu.org>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:a49a96f681bf13c6e77644d4507e867f00f93fe6 commit r11-7923-ga49a96f681bf13c6e77644d4507e867f00f93fe6 Author: Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> Date: Wed Mar 31 09:11:29 2021 +0200 i386, debug: Default to -gdwarf-4 on Windows targets with broken ld.bfd [PR98860] As mentioned in the PR, before the https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=ba6eb62ff0ea9843a018cfd7cd06777bd66ae0a0 fix from March 1st, PECOFF ld.bfd didn't know about .debug_loclists, .debug_rnglists and other debug sections new in DWARF 5. Unfortunately, unlike for ELF linkers, that means the sections were placed in wrong ordering with wrong VMA/LMA, so the resulting executables are apparently unusable. As that is pretty new change, newer than 2.35.2 or 2.36 binutils releases, the following patch adds a workaround that turns -gdwarf-4 by default instead of -gdwarf-5 if a broken linker is found at configure time. Users can still explicitly play with -gdwarf-5 and either use a non-broken linker or use custom linker scripts for the broken one, but at least by default it should work. 2021-03-31 Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> PR bootstrap/98860 * configure.ac (HAVE_LD_BROKEN_PE_DWARF5): New AC_DEFINE if PECOFF linker doesn't support DWARF sections new in DWARF5. * config/i386/i386-options.c (ix86_option_override_internal): Default to dwarf_version 4 if HAVE_LD_BROKEN_PE_DWARF5 for TARGET_PECOFF targets. * config.in: Regenerated. * configure: Regenerated.
