Hi all,
I am facing an issue trying to use ld.gold as the default ld on a poky
build. I've added to my build's conf/local.conf DISTRO_FEATURES_append =
"ld-is-gold" so I get in
tmp-eglibc-eglibc/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/bin/armv7a-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi
the following (amongst others):
arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld
arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld.bfd
arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld.gold
All good so far. But looking into
tmp-eglibc-eglibc/sysroots/i686-linux/usr/libexec/armv7a-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi/gcc/arm-oe-linux-gnueabi/4.7.2
I see:
ld ->
../../../../../bin/armv7a-vfp-neon-oe-linux-gnueabi/arm-oe-linux-gnueabi-ld
From the binutils.inc recipe, in EXTRA_OECONF:
${@base_contains('DISTRO_FEATURES', 'ld-is-gold', '--enable-gold=default
--enable-threads', '', d)}
Shouldn't that have made ld point to ld.gold?
Any thoughts/ideas on why this is happening?
Thank you,
Florin

Its probably not enabled. Try:
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " ld-is-gold"
note the extra space.
Cheers,

It is enabled. As I said earlier, ld.gold gets created, it's just that
ld is not pointing to it even though the flag says
--enable-gold=default. It still point to the regular cross ld. Another
config option that creates ld.gold is --enable-ld=yes, so at this point
default looks exactly like yes.
Just to be extra sure, I did try to add the extra space as you suggested
but the behaviour is the same.
Thanks,
Florin

post the output of
bitbake -e binutils-cross

What exactly do you wanna see in the output? I can post the variables
you are looking for.

why cant you pastebin the whole file ? anyhow you are probably looking
at a red herring
build will create three linker binaries
1. Default linker - <cross>-ld
2. Gold linker - <cross>-ld.gold
3. GNU ld - <cross>-ld.bfd
1 above will be copy of either ld.gold or ld.bfd depending upon what
you have chosen
as default.
run <cross>-ls -v
to see the version of linker. If it is gold then it will say so

You're right, the symbolic link pointing to this "regular" ld confused
me. Looking at it's version, it clearly says gold.
Thank you.
