             Bug #: 13947
           Summary: Strip applied twice corrupts binaries compiled with
                    --emit-relocs
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden
    Classification: Unclassified


I need to produce binaries with --emit-relocs options passed to the linker. 
After calling strip once on the freshly compiled binary, it runs fine, but
after applying strip again, as it sometimes happens in complicated build
systems, the binary is corrupted and segfaults.

This doesn't happen with binaries compiled without --emit-relocs, in which case
strip is idempotent indeed.

I tried that with different versions of GCC with both C and C++ programs.  I
also tried different versions of binutils and x86_64, i386 and arm
architectures.
