            Bug ID: 24505
           Summary: Should --nmagic affect MAXPAGESIZE/COMMONPAGESIZE?
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: maskray at google dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

-n/--nmagic disables page alignment of sections. Should it affect the target
specific constants MAXPAGESIZE and COMMONPAGESIZE by changing them to 1?

% cat a.lds
maxpagesize = CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE);
commonpagesize = CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE);
% as /dev/null -o a.o
% ld.bfd -n a.o -T a.lds -o a
% readelf -Ws a | grep pagesize
     2: 0000000000001000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS commonpagesize
     3: 0000000000200000     0 NOTYPE  GLOBAL DEFAULT  ABS maxpagesize

Feel free to close the issue if CONSTANT(MAXPAGESIZE) /
CONSTANT(COMMONPAGESIZE) are not supposed to change.
I just have a feeling that making commonpagesize=maxpagesize=1 may simplify the
implementation.
