            Bug ID: 24262
           Summary: bfd-plugins doesn't respect libdir
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.33 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: christian.morales.vega at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

According to
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=binutils/doc/binutils.texi;h=01f1e5f56db99e98f6863623e37ab97c93a0244a;hb=HEAD#l554
plugins are searched in @address@hidden/bfd-plugins.

But according to the sources
https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=blob;f=bfd/plugin.c;h=f99c4e156b31efe7e7726130bda0c997def4010d;hb=HEAD#l382
it's actually something different.

Not sure why the sources go through the make_relative_prefix thing instead of
actually using libdir. But whatever the case, after reading the docs, I was
expecting my Fedora x86-64 binutils build to look in "/usr/lib64/bfd-plugins",
not in "/usr/lib/bfd-plugins".
