           Summary: gold fails to link symbols explicitly defined in
                    base-version
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.22 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


The binutils manual for ld suggests using this syntax to define a symbol
explicitly in base-version:

__asm__(".symver original_foo,foo@");
__asm__(".symver new_foo,foo@@VERS2");

but code compiled with this syntax is rejected by gold as the version "" is
undefined.

I'm attaching a patch to solve the issue, which ensures that the base version
is registered for the "" version.

Thanks,
Diego
