Description Uri Lublin 2020-06-10 22:26:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
Bug on sourceware: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22762

The reproducer on that bug, static-var.cpp, breaks (shows nothing)
on mingw-binutils-2.30-1 but works with mingw-binutils-2.29.1-1.

The suggested patch on sourceware bug is not part of 2.30-1.

I think this may be related to why when building mingw-virt-viewer with
mingw-binutils-2.30-1 the executable created aborts immediately with the error
  "Unspecified fatal error encountered, aborting"



static-var.cpp:
#include <stdio.h>

class Printer
{
  public:
    Printer()
    {
      printf("Printer()\n");
    }
};

static Printer printer;

int main()
{
  return 0;
}
