            Bug ID: 25882
           Summary: .gnu.attributes are not checked for shared libraries
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.35 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: amodra at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

ld/ldlang.c lang_check calls bfd_merge_private_bfd_data from within a block
conditional on bfd_count_sections (input_bfd).  It makes sense to exclude
relocatable objects without contents, but since shared libraries do not have
sections loaded by the ELF linker (see elflink.c:4337 bfd_section_list_clear
call), the condition stops .gnu.attributes processing for shared libraries.

gold on the other hand does process .gnu.attributes for shared libraries.
