Thank you all. I did try yum update binutils, no luck. So I tried yum update, let it update 136 packets, no luck.
So, I will try you idea of dropping back to (I think 2.6.4) FPC that is prepacked for CentOS 6.8. Forced an FTP download of 2.6.4 bin & src, and viola: # fpc test Free Pascal Compiler version 2.6.4 [2014/03/07] for x86_64 Copyright (c) 1993-2014 by Florian Klaempfl and others Target OS: Linux for x86-64 Compiling test.pp Linking test /usr/bin/ld: warning: link.res contains output sections; did you forget -T? 9 lines compiled, 0.1 sec Just had to code around: pascal.inc(1251,35) Error: Identifier not found "GetCPUCount" pascal.inc(1256,37) Error: Identifier not found "AVXSupport" pascal.inc(1260,38) Error: Identifier not found "AVX2Support" pascal.inc(1264,37) Error: Identifier not found "FMASupport" ;-) THANKS! PS. Sorry Ralf, I did not realize you were saying "it's an LD issue" ;-) On Sun, Feb 3, 2019 at 8:05 AM Florian Klämpfl <flor...@freepascal.org> wrote: > Am 03.02.19 um 11:09 schrieb Tomas Hajny: > > On Sun, February 3, 2019 08:40, Ozz Nixon wrote: > > > > > > Hi Ozz, > > > > . > > . > >> /usr/bin/ld: BFD version 2.20.51.0.2-5.44.el6 20100205 internal error, > >> aborting at reloc.c line 443 in bfd_get_reloc_size > >> > >> /usr/bin/ld: Please report this bug. > > . > > . > > > > As correctly pointed out by Ralf, the messages above clearly say that you > > get an internal error in '/usr/bin/ld' and that you should report it to > ld > > maintainers (or possibly maintainers of your distribution) together with > > information about the reported location in the C source of ld. > > > > It might be worth to try first with newer binutils, 2.20 is almost 10 > years old. Or try with the fpc which comes with the used CentOS.
