            Bug ID: 25316
           Summary: ia64 ld fails to convert binary into elf: "failed to
                    merge target specific data"
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.32
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: slyfox at inbox dot ru
  Target Milestone: ---

Bug originally reported at https://bugs.gentoo.org/699180 by Émeric Maschino.

Small reproducer:
  $ echo hi > hello.123
  $ ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld -r -b binary hello.123 -o hello.o
ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld: failed to merge target specific data of file
hello.123
  $ ia64-unknown-linux-gnu-ld -r -b binary hello.123 -o hello.o
--no-warn-mismatch

It works without problems on other targets. AFAIU glibc's inlent is to:
1. convert arbitrary binary into an ELF file
2. assign a symbol to it
3. refer from other source files

It's a step 1 that fails.

The target is ia64-unknown-linux-gnu.
