Hi Tom,
> Results in the ld.gold version not being in the .comment section.
But - just to be clear - it is in the .note.gnu.gold-version section:
% readelf -p.note.gnu.gold-version a.out
String dump of section '.note.gnu.gold-version':
[ c] GNU
[ 10] gold 1.16
So this is a request for gold to add or move the version number into the
.comment
section, right ? And add the feature to ld too, of course.
Note - it is possible to achieve the desired effect using an extra object file:
% cat ld-version.s
.section .comment
.asciz "GNU ld version 2.37-37.fc36";
% gcc hello.c ld-version.s
% readelf -p.comment
[ 0] GCC: (GNU) 12.2.1 20221121 (Red Hat 12.2.1-4)
[ 2e] GCC: (GNU) 12.0.1 20220413 (Red Hat 12.0.1-0)
[ 5c] GNU ld version 2.37-37.fc36
But I am sure that this is not what you want.
Hmm, let me see if it is an easy thing to do...
