I build msp430-elf toolchains using the latest material in the
gcc-4_9-branch of gcc, master of binutils, and master of newlib. In
what follows I've set RHINC to point to the include directory from
GCC_RH-20140508 that has the headers and linker scripts.
There is a fault in binutils introduced at 77ac17b8 which causes
msp430-elf-ld to fail to link applications. I get this behavior:
llc[186]$ cat x.c
#include <msp430.h>
void main (void)
{
}
llc[187]$ /usr/local/msp430-elf-dev-20140601h/bin/msp430-elf-gcc
-mmcu=msp430f5438a -I${RHINC} -T${RHINC}/msp430f5438a.ld x.c
llc[188]$ /usr/local/msp430-elf-dev-20140601j/bin/msp430-elf-gcc
-mmcu=msp430f5438a -I${RHINC} -T${RHINC}/msp430f5438a.ld x.c
/usr/local/msp430-elf-dev-20140601h/lib/gcc/msp430-elf/4.9.1/../../../../msp430-elf/bin/ld:
target not found
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
The second produces a diagnostic from open_output in ld/ldlang.c where
output_target is an empty string.
The only difference between these two chains is the version of binutils:
llc[189]$ cat /usr/local/msp430-elf-dev-20140601h/.sha1.binutils
77ac17b8453f60adabaa8931930e2bbe0499757d
llc[190]$ cat /usr/local/msp430-elf-dev-20140601j/.sha1.binutils
9854d43d40fc116d72a24583f53e34f91cf4098b
A cursory look at the commit doesn't explain why this might happen,
unless msp430 requires that ${GENSCRIPTS} be invoked for some reason.
77ac17b8453f60adabaa8931930e2bbe0499757d is the first bad commit
