commit r16-7833-g14a3c867601a65fc306ec4ed2892b50638f795d0 Author: Rainer Orth <[email protected]> Date: Sun Mar 1 21:16:33 2026 +0100 Remove gld --as-needed workaround on Solaris/x86 [PR57261] When configured to use gld, gcc has disabled the --as-needed option as a workaround for binutils PR ld/12320: [build] Fix Solaris --as-needed/-z ignore detection (PR target/57261) https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2013-05/msg00698.html gld would add an unnecessary dependency on libgcc_s.so.1 even though --as-needed was used. Back then, libgcc_s.so.1 wasn't bundled with Solaris, so even trivial programs would fail to run unless linked with -R <libdir>. This workaround is no longer necessary for several reasons: * In Solaris 11, libgcc_s.so.1 is bundled, so there won't be runtime failures. * Although the problem occured more often on x86, Solaris/SPARC is affected just the same. Nonetheless the workaround isn't used there. * The gld bug has finally been fixed for binutils 2.47, so the issue is going to vanish soon. Therefore this patch removes the workaround, bringing x86 en par with SPARC. Bootstrapped without regressions on i386-pc-solaris2.11, amd64-pc-solaris2.11, and x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. 2026-02-21 Rainer Orth <[email protected]> gcc: PR target/57261 * configure.ac (gcc_cv_ld_as_needed) <i?86-*-solaris2* | x86_64-*-solaris2*>: Don't disable. * configure: Regenerate.
