An address literally at the end of the section is OK, and elflint will already accept that. This is 8 bytes past, which seems pretty unlikely to be anything kosher. > __TMC_END__ comes from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/crtend.o > 12: 0000000000000000 0 OBJECT GLOBAL HIDDEN 6 __TMC_END__ > [ 6] .tm_clone_table PROGBITS 0000000000000000 00000050 00000000 0 > WA 0 0 8 Given this, it seems like it's got to be a linker bug. Since this is effectively a new regression, I'd say you should pursue getting the linker bug fixed. If there is some good reason that can't get resolved failry quickly, then we could add a known-bug exception for --gnu-ld mode.
