I have binutils with gold with the changelog showing the entry from April 1st
this year but not newer, so it's lagging behind trunk/head.
While compiling the linux kernel 2.6.30-rc5, it complained with:
LD .tmp_vmlinux1
ld: -X: unknown option
ld: use the --help option for usage information
make: *** [.tmp_vmlinux1] Error 1
And really, ld --help showed no such flag but man page for gnu ld showed:
-X
--discard-locals
Delete all temporary local symbols. (These symbols start with
system-specific local label prefixes, typically .L for ELF systems or L for
traditional a.out systems.)
Use of this flag in linux is new and optional, but I think it should be added to
gold.
This is 64bit gnu/linux on Intel Core2, namely Gentoo ~amd64.
