ld segfault -> NULL pointer dereference in bfd/elf32-ppc.c

[Adrien Demarez]

Hello,

I experience an ld segfault when trying to compile QT4.6 in OpenEmbedded/Angstrom for the PPC platform (MPC8313 more precisely). The following patch (against the CVS version) solves this : after having a look at the core file, the return value from find_plt_ent() is not checked in several points, leading to a NULL pointer dereference in some situations.

binutils-elf32-ppc.patch
Description: Binary data

N.B.: I still have error messages such as "Error: Unrecognized opcode: `slwi'", but at least ld does no longer segfault. Does anyone know how to solve this unrecognized opcode issue ?

Best regards,
