Diez <rdiezmail-gcc at yahoo dot de> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |rdiezmail-gcc at yahoo dot de --- Comment #7 from R. Diez <rdiezmail-gcc at yahoo dot de> --- I have been building cross-compiler toolchains for years with makefiles similar to this one: https://github.com/rdiez/JtagDue/blob/master/Toolchain/Makefile I am trying to upgrade that makefile from GCC 10.2 to GCC 11.2, and I am getting exactly the same problem that this bug describes. I checked, and the fix linked from this bug is included in version 11.2 . However, I have never used option "--enable-default-pie" in the past, and I was able build cross-toolchains with many GCC versions without it for years. The target is actually an embedded ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller with fixed memory addresses (a "bare metal" firmware without OS), so I guess that I do not really need PIE. It may even cost some performance, if I understand what PIE does. I am guessing that bootstrapping a cross-compiler GCC is still broken with its default PIE setting.
