--- Comment #74 from Jan Hubicka <hubicka at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-04-07 22:07:38 UTC --- Interesting. -O3 makes no difference for me. I will look into your dumps if I can spot something useful. The behavior I observe is that GCC optimize away all the strings that are placed into test.so. I didn't look deeper into it (I am looking if i can reproduce your dwarf2out ICE and get a testcase right now), but I think it is what makes my elfhack test to fail. I am surprised it does not happen for yours. If GCC fail to link even such a simple program as elfhack is, something pretty fundamental must go wrong. Perhaps it is linker bug. I had problems with older versions of gold.
