Hi Laurent, Thanks for the bug report and patch. I have now applied the patch to the rawhide binutils, so if you try out binutils-2.25.1-8.fc24 you should find that it works. Cheers Nick Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 1086859 [details] Add ppc64le target for ld in .specs Description of problem: ld cannot manages ppc64le objects. $ ld -V GNU ld version 2.25-9.fc22 Supported emulations: elf64ppc elf32ppc elf32ppclinux elf32ppcsim elf32_spu As 'as', 'gdb' and 'gcc' are able to manage little-endian code, ld is the only missing part to build/debug a ppc64le kernel on a ppc64 host. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ ld -v GNU ld version 2.25-9.fc22 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. vi le.c static const int a = 0x12345678; void _start(void) { } 2. gcc -g -nostdlib -mlittle-endian -m64 -c -o le.o le.c 3. ld -melf64lppc -o le le.o Actual results: ld: unrecognised emulation mode: elf64lppc Supported emulations: elf64ppc elf32ppc elf32ppclinux elf32ppcsim elf32_spu Expected results: $ gcc -g -nostdlib -mlittle-endian -m64 -c -o le.o le.c $ file le.o le.o: ELF 64-bit LSB relocatable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped $ ld -melf64lppc -o le le.o $ file le le: ELF 64-bit LSB executable, 64-bit PowerPC or cisco 7500, version 1 (SYSV), statically linked, not stripped $ gdb le GNU gdb (GDB) Fedora 7.9.1-19.fc22 ... (gdb) x/4xb &a 0x10000110 <a>: 0x78 0x56 0x34 0x12 On big endian we have here: (gdb) x/4xb &a 0x10000110 <a>: 0x12 0x34 0x56 0x78 Additional info:
