Description of problem:
I've got an assertion fail in ld. Looks like it doesn't impact anything but may 
be you should to know about it.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Files you need:
ONE.c:
int ONE() { printf ("In ONE\n"); }
TWO.c:
int TWO() { printf ("In TWO\n"); }
main.c:
int main()
{
    ONE();
    TWO();
}

2. gcc -c ONE.c TWO.c
3. ar -crs libONE.a ONE.o
4. gcc -shared TWO.o -o libTWO.so
5. gcc main.c -L. -Wl,-rpath=. -lTWO -Wl,-Bstatic,-lONE
6. ./a.out


Actual Results:  >gcc -c ONE.c TWO.c
>ar -crs libONE.a ONE.o
>gcc -shared TWO.o -o libTWO.so
>gcc main.c -L. -Wl,-rpath=. -lTWO -Wl,-Bstatic,-lONE
/usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.11.93.0.2 20020207 assertion fail elf-strtab.c:262
>./a.out
In ONE
In TWO


Expected Results:  >gcc -c ONE.c TWO.c
>ar -crs libONE.a ONE.o
>gcc -shared TWO.o -o libTWO.so
>gcc main.c -L. -Wl,-rpath=. -lTWO -Wl,-Bstatic,-lONE
>./a.out
In ONE
In TWO

Additional info: 
asertion fails because refcount to 'llseek' isn't zero.
Why, I don't know.
Comment 1 Oleg Goldshmidt 2002-10-04 21:17:13 UTC 
The same assertion fails with

$ gcc -g -pg hello_world.c -lc_p
/usr/bin/ld: BFD 2.11.93.0.2 20020207 assertion fail elf-strtab.c:262

where hello_world.c is just what it says. Cf. also

Tested with RH7.3,

gcc-2.96-112
binutils-2.11.93.0.2-11
glibc-2.2.5-39
glibc-profile-2.2.5-39
Linux 2.4.18-10

Works for me in 8.0
