[Bug gold/11694] New: Statically linked programs trying to dlopen themselves hang when linked with gold

[bero at arklinux dot org]

When using gold (Last tested version: GNU gold (Linux/GNU Binutils 
2.20.51.0.9.20100526) 1.9), the 
check done in various autoconf scripts (checking whether a statically linked 
program can dlopen itself) 
hangs forever, with conftest taking up 100% CPU time.

Switching the linker to the old ld fixes it.

More information on the issue (including the theory that it is related to 
gold's handling of 
STT_GNU_IFUNC symbols) can be found at:
