Description Anita Zhang 2021-02-20 01:38:06 UTC

Building systemd with the binutils-2.30-90.el8.x86_64 (in mock's centos-stream-x86_64 chroot) results in the linker error shown in https://pagure.io/centos-sig-hyperscale/sig/issue/13.

This was traced to the inclusion of https://sourceware.org/git/?p=binutils-gdb.git;a=commit;h=1e3b96fd6cf (backported since binutils-2.30-81.el8.x86_64 as Patch78: binutils-plugin-as-needed.patch). This was mostly reverted by binutils upstream in https://sourceware.org/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils-gdb.git;h=b1a92c635c1ec10fd703302ce1fc4ab3a8515a04. This should also be backported.

Comment 3 Nick Clifton 2021-03-18 15:56:48 UTC

Fixed in binutils-2.30-94.el8.

Note for QE: The fix includes some new tests in the linker testsuite.  Look for lto-19 and pr26806.

Comment 5 Nick Clifton 2021-03-23 18:54:12 UTC

Ok so the correct version is binutils-2.30-97.el8

Comment 8 Miloš Prchlík 2021-04-09 17:46:41 UTC

Verified with binutils-2.30-99.el8.

Comment 9 Robert Scheck 2021-06-13 20:35:22 UTC

Cross-filed case 02963633 at the Red Hat customer portal, because systemd-extras in EPEL 8 is affected by this bug (quite similar as reported in the initial description).
