arm-*-*-ld --oformat binary SEGMENTATION FAULT

[Marco Peccianti]

Hi all,

I have encountered a problem linking a binary format executable with target ARM. No matter whatever I link, when I use --oformat binary the result is always the same: segmentation fault.

I've used binutils 2.18, compiled by myself in two flavours (arm-linux-elf and arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi) and the one compiled by Openmoko MokoMakeFile. A friend of mine get the same results.

I get the same results both with object files created with as and with gcc.

example (source.c)

int a,b,c;

int main(void){

b=1;

c=2;

a=b+c;

return 0;

}

#arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -c source.c -o source.o; arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld -o source.bin --oformat binary source.o

segmentation fault
