Subject: [PATCH resend 0/2] Fix x86-64 linker script when using gold
Date: Sat, 23 Jul 2011 15:19:01 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <cover.1311448660.git.luto@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <201107231559.23537.a.miskiewicz@gmail.com>

[resent because I misspelled linux-kernel the first time.]

We were hitting two bugs:
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13019
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=13023

The former was really a bug on the linker script that neither the
old bfd linker nor the kernel loader cared about.  It caused gold to
bail, though.

The second is, I think, a legitimate bug in gold.  But rather than
regressing on current gold versions, we can work around it.

This is what I get for messing with the linker script :-/
