           Summary: [PATCH] Gold not knowing ARM7EM architecture
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.21
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden

Patch with the proposed change

When compiling code with gcc-4.6.0 for cpu "cortex-m4" it generates code for
ARM7EM. The gold 2.21 linker tells: "unknown CPU architecture".

The error is in line 10006 of gold/arm.cc:
 if (oldtag >= elfcpp::MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH || newtag >= elfcpp::MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH)

This detects an error in the architecture, but if the oldtag or newtag is just
the same as elfcpp::MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH, it detects it incorrectly as unknown CPU.
Line 242 of elfcpp/arm.h:
  MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH = TAG_CPU_ARCH_V7E_M

So it is as simple to fix as changing previous line by:
 if (oldtag > elfcpp::MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH || newtag > elfcpp::MAX_TAG_CPU_ARCH)

So the value TAG_CPU_ARCH_V7E_M is not detected as an unknown CPU.

Included patch for easy applying.
