            Bug ID: 27160
           Summary: NOCROSSREFS 1 fail on ia64-linux after commit
                    cd6d537c48fa
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.36 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: amodra at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

$ ./ld-new   -o tmpdir/cross1 -T
/home/alan/src/binutils-virgin/ld/testsuite/ld-scripts/cross1.t tmpdir/cross1.o
tmpdir/cross2.o
./ld-new: final link failed: bad value

The fail is from bfd_set_section_contents returning false on attempting to
write contents past the end of the output section.  elf_fixup_link_order causes
that by reordering .IA_64.unwind later.  .IA_64.unwind has alignment of 8 and
the new order happens to require more alignment padding.

I know that ia64 is marked obsolete, but the same situation may arise with
other targets.
