            Bug ID: 105877
           Summary: GNU strip breaks -flto -g .o files
           Product: gcc
           Version: 13.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: lto
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org

  Target Milestone: ---
              Host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu

Initially reported by drnfc on
https://github.com/trofi/nix-guix-gentoo/issues/19 where gcc failed to link
nix-2.9.0 against stripped liblowdown.a. Both are built with -flto.

I'm not sure if it's a strip bug, gcc bug or both. I think (did not check) it
used to work long ago. I'm leaning towards gcc bug and filing it here first.

Here is a minimal reproducer:

    // $ cat document.c
    void lowdown_doc_new(void) {}

    // $ cat markdown.cc
    extern "C" { void lowdown_doc_new(void); }
    int main(){ lowdown_doc_new(); }

    $ gcc -flto -g -c -o document.o document.c
    $ cp document.o document-stripped.o
    $ strip -g document-stripped.o
    $ g++ markdown.cc -o a document.o -flto-partition=max -flto -g
    $ g++ markdown.cc -o a document-stripped.o -flto-partition=max -flto -g
    ld: /tmp/ccajK6YG.ltrans0.ltrans.o:(.debug_info+0x2f): undefined reference
to `document.c.20ce96f1'

$ gcc -v |& unnix
