                    MinGW64)
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.39
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2

Hi! First of all, thanks for developing such great tools!

We've encountered an issue while building a few projects on an up-to-date MSYS2
MinGW64 envirnoment. What happens is that during the final link stage of
executables, ld.exe hits two failed assertions and exits:

ld.exe: warning:
subprojects/glib/gobject/libgobject-2.0.dll.a(libgobject_2_0_0_dll_d000431.o):
local symbol `0' has no section
ld.exe: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.38.90.20220720 assertion fail
../../binutils-gdb/bfd/cofflink.c:2279
ld.exe: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.38.90.20220720 assertion fail
../../binutils-gdb/bfd/coff-x86_64.c:696
ld.exe:
subprojects/glib/gobject/libgobject-2.0.dll.a(libgobject_2_0_0_dll_d000431.o):
bad reloc address 0x126 in section `.text'

That happens both with the current stable binutils release (version 2.38) and a
custom build from binutils-2_39-branch.

Reproduction steps:

* Install the needed packages with the command: pacman -S --needed git
mingw-w64-x86_64-{cc,meson,libadwaita,gtksourceview5,pkgconf,gobject-introspection}
* Open the MSYS2 MinGW64 Shell (or alternatively the MSYS2 CLang64 Shell)
* Type the following command:
  git clone https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-text-editor
  cd gnome-text-editor
  meson setup builddir -Dforce_fallback_for=libadwaita && meson compile -C
builddir/

I remain at your disposal for any needed information or testing.
Thank you!
