            Bug ID: 19526
           Summary: Using "gcc -o /dev/null" gives  "ld: final link
                    failed: File truncated" error
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
               URL: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/45994
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---
              Host: hppa-unknown-linux-gnu
            Target: hppa-unknown-linux-gnu

When running this trivial check if a library (here: libm.so) exists on the hppa
platform I get an error:

echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -v -o /dev/null -x c - -lm ; echo $?

/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: File truncated
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This error does not happen on e.g, the x86_64 platform.

This kind of test is used in various programs, e.g. in "pymol" (Log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=pymol&arch=hppa&ver=1.7.2.1-2.2&stamp=1453925483).

The full log is:

address@hidden:~# echo 'int main(){}' | gcc -v -o /dev/null -x c - -lm ; echo $?
Using built-in specs.
