[Bug ld/6468] New: ld: --export-dynamic fails if no undefined symbols


From: jreiser at BitWagon dot com
Subject: [Bug ld/6468] New: ld: --export-dynamic fails if no undefined symbols
Date: 29 Apr 2008 17:59:42 -0000

If there are no undefined symbols then there is no Dynamic section, no
DT_SYMTAB, and no DT_HASH/DT_GNU_HASH; and --export-dynamic fails silently.  So
there is no way to have a module (ET_EXEC or ET_DYN) that has no undefined
symbols, yet exports some of its own symbols for use by other modules. 

Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat <<EOF  >export.S
_start: .globl _start
        movl foo,%ebx
        movl $1,%eax
        int $0x80

        .data
foo: .globl foo
        .int 42
EOF
2. gcc -o export -nostartfiles -nostdlib -Wl,--export-dynamic export.S
3. readelf --all export  |  grep -i dynamic
  
Actual results:
There is no dynamic section in this file.


Expected results:
Dynamic section at offset 0x.... contains .. entries:
