             Bug #: 14614

           Summary: gold 2.22 test failure (initpri3b) on gcc 4.7.2

           Product: binutils

           Version: 2.22

            Status: NEW

          Severity: normal

          Priority: P2

         Component: gold

        AssignedTo: address@hidden

        ReportedBy: address@hidden

                CC: address@hidden

    Classification: Unclassified





The test initpri3b for the gold linker fails for me when built with gcc 4.7.2. 

GCC 4.7.1, though, works.



I reported this to GCC, which can be seen here:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54671

The question put to me was, who needs the --no-ctors-in-init-array option when

gcc was configured against a binutils that by default placed constructors in

the .init_array section?  If it is needed, a configure option could be added to

gcc to disable the new default behaviour that deprecates this

--no-ctors-in-init-array functionality.



I hope in fact that this is not needed, and the initpri3b test can be given a

message or be ran only when on a system without init-array support, thereby

assuming that only the system default needs to be tested.



But if this is not the case, then please follow up with gcc for the necessary

addition of a configure option.



At the moment, the test fails without explanation, which is a bit

disconcerting.



Thank you.

Neil.



PS.  Please see the gcc bug report for more information.
