Description of problem: The latest run of upstream test suite reports following failed ld test cases: FAIL: Build plt-main FAIL: Build plt-main with PIE FAIL: Build plt-main with PIE and -z bndplt FAIL: Build plt-main with -z bndplt FAIL: ld-x86-64/pltgot-1 FAIL: ld-x86-64/pltgot-2 I saved the whole buildroot (test suite was started after `rpmbuild -bb` in rpmbuild's BUILD) if it's of any help. If not, please let me know what'd help and I try to update my test suite wrapper to include such info. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): binutils-2.27-40.base.el7 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Hi Miloš, > FAIL: Build plt-main > I saved the whole buildroot (test suite was started after `rpmbuild -bb` in > rpmbuild's BUILD) if it's of any help. Yes - are you able to upload the ld.log file from the failing linker tests ? In particular I want to find out why the build of plt-main failed, as this is probably the cause of all of the following failures as well. Cheers Nick

Hi Milos, OK, I have managed to reproduce the problem and determine the cause. Fortunately the issue is a mistake in the linker testsuite. Or more precisely it is a mistake in the patch that disables the generation of the R_X86_64_GOTPCRELX relocs. This patch changes the relocations that are generated by the linker, but it failed to update the testsuite to take this into account. (Actually the patch does update the testsuite, but it missed these checks). I will create a patch to fix the tests and check it in once it is ready. Cheers Nick
