[Bug binutils/2706] New: Linking to elf32-i386 causing error "non constant expression for load base"

[architect dot matrix at gmail dot com]

Linking to the elf32-i386 format using the following linker script gives me an
error "non constant expression for load base".

Changing the OUTPUT_FORMAT to binary however makes the script work fine.
Here is the linker script used.

OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386")
ENTRY(start)

FourKB = 0x1000;
physical = 0x100000;    /* 1 meg */
virtual = 0xC0000000;   /* 3 gig */

SECTIONS
{
  . = physical;
  
  .setup :
  {
    *(.setup)
  }
  
  . += virtual;

  .text : AT( ADDR(.text) - virtual )
  {
    *(.text)
    *(.rodata*)
  }

  . = ALIGN(FourKB);

  .data : AT( LOADADDR(.text) + SIZEOF(.text) )
  {

         start_ctors = .;
         *(.ctors*)
         end_ctors = .;
         
         start_dtors = .;
         *(.dtors)
         end_dtors = .;

         *(.data)
  }
  . = ALIGN(FourKB);

  .bss : AT( LOADADDR(.data) + SIZEOF(.data) )
  {
    *(.bss)
    *(COMMON)
  }
  . = ALIGN(FourKB);

}
