Bug 515700

Same problem for openjdk: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=1583668

This seems to be a problem with strip -g on libxpcomglue_s.a and STB_GNU_UNIQUE objects.
At least, when libxpcomglue_s.a isn't stripped, it works fine, when it is, it reports these errors.
I'll attach a testcase, with:
binutils-2.19.51.0.14-30.fc12.x86_64
elfutils-0.142-1.fc12.x86_64
gcc-4.4.1-3.x86_64

I get:

Simpler testcase:

cat > x.C <<\EOF
template <class T>
struct A
{
  static const int a;
};

template <class T> const int A<T>::a = 16;

#ifdef BAR
# define foo bar
#endif

const int *foo (int i)
{
  static const int *t[] = { &A<int>::a, __null };
  return t[i];
}

gcc -shared -nostdlib -o x.so x.o y.o; echo $?
cp -a y.o z.o
strip -g z.o
gcc -shared -nostdlib -o x.so x.o z.o; echo $?

And one where gcc isn't involved:
cat > x.s <<\EOF

Fixed binutils built in rawhide, now xulrunner needs to be rebuilt with those binutils.

build is: binutils-2.19.51.0.14-31

This appears to be tagged for the alpha, closing.
