             Bug #: 13789
           Summary: ld-elf/zerosize1 failing on mips targets
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.23 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
                CC: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified
            Target: mips-elf, mipsel-linux


Configure for either mips-elf, mipsel-linux (or likely any other mips-target). 
Build.  Make check-ld.  Observe:

Running
/expvol/pp_slask/hp/comptools/gitmove/updates/src/ld/testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp
...
FAIL: ld-elf/zerosize1
...

The offending line says xyzzy is of type OBJECT instead of the expected NOTYPE:
     8: 00401004     0 OBJECT  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS xyzzy

Unfortunately, I don't know whether that's a valid artefact of the mips ELF
unorthodoxisms or a bug.  FWIW, the test does not fail for neither of arm-eabi
nor cris-elf.
