Package: binutils
Version: 2.45.50.20260119-1

Dear maintainer,

I am developing a program that needs a text file embedded in its binary
as a "resource" of sorts. I rely on ld for converting the file to an
object file. On Debian sid, however, ld segfaults on me.

How to reproduce:

$ echo foo > foo.txt
$ ld -r -b binary -z noexecstack foo.txt -o foo.o
Segmentation fault         ld -r -b binary -z noexecstack foo.txt -o foo.o

This works fine on Debian testing (with binutils 2.45.50.20251209-1).

Workaround: remove the option "-z noexecstack". This option, however, is
needed on bookworm to prevent a warning on the final link: "missing
.note.GNU-stack section implies executable stack".

Regards,

Edgar Bonet.
