[Bug gold/6992] New: constant strings don't get relocated properly in a relocatable built with gold

[andyc at bluearc dot com]

Here's a program:

# cat main.cpp
#include <stdio.h>

int
main() {
    printf("hello world\n");
    return 0;
}

I have a script that builds that program:

# cat buildit.sh 
LD=${LD:-'ld'}

g++ -c main.cpp 
$LD -r -o relocatable.o --script script.lnk main.o
g++ -o main relocatable.o 
./main

If I build the relocatable with the traditional linker, then the program prints
"hello world" as expected. If I build the relocatable with gold, then the
program prints garbage:

???H???
