            Bug ID: 17212
           Summary: Tag_CPU_name merging produces wrong tag.
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.24
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Small reprocase

I tried to compile a binary optimized for ARM Cortex-A15 with ARM Cortex-A8
cross-toolchain (host is x86_64-pc-inux-gnu), but Tag_CPU_name appears to be
"Cortex-A8" for the binary instead of "Cortex-A15". The example session
follows:

$ arm-v7a8-linux-gnueabi-gcc -O2 -mcpu=cortex-a15 divtest.c -o divtest.a15

$ readelf -A divtest.a15

Attribute Section: aeabi
File Attributes
  Tag_CPU_name: "Cortex-A8"
  Tag_CPU_arch: v7
  Tag_CPU_arch_profile: Application
  Tag_ARM_ISA_use: Yes
  Tag_THUMB_ISA_use: Thumb-2
  Tag_FP_arch: VFPv3
  Tag_ABI_PCS_wchar_t: 4
  Tag_ABI_FP_denormal: Needed
  Tag_ABI_FP_exceptions: Needed
  Tag_ABI_FP_number_model: IEEE 754
  Tag_ABI_align_needed: 8-byte
  Tag_ABI_align_preserved: 8-byte, except leaf SP
  Tag_ABI_enum_size: int
  Tag_ABI_HardFP_use: SP and DP
  Tag_MPextension_use: Allowed
  Tag_DIV_use: Allowed in v7-A with integer division extension
  Tag_Virtualization_use: TrustZone and Virtualization Extensions

After some investigation I found out, that Tag_CPU_name merging based on
Tag_CPU_arch, not the name itself. Since the first file to appear during
linking 
is crt1.o, which has Tag_CPU_name: "Cortex-A8" for A8 toolchain, the result
binary's Tag_CPU_name is also "Cortex-A8". Is this expected behavior of ld, or
maybe tags should be merged to "Cortex-A15"?
