--- Comment #15 from GCC Commits <cvs-commit at gcc dot gnu.org> --- The master branch has been updated by Jonathan Yong <[email protected]>: https://gcc.gnu.org/g:da2229db8809d461cd483a22725d53694dcdfa1e commit r16-6807-gda2229db8809d461cd483a22725d53694dcdfa1e Author: Peter Damianov <[email protected]> Date: Sat Jan 10 09:19:54 2026 +0000 Remove .res specs to fix COFF passthrough [PR123504] Some packages (gnulib) pass COFF object files with .res extension directly to gcc, expecting them to be passed through to the linker, instead of windres. However, the current EXTRA_DEFAULT_COMPILERS spec intercepts all .res files and runs them through windres, which fails for COFF files that are not Windows resource files (Microsoft Visual C binary resource file as identified by libmagic/file). This patch removes the .res file specs, leaving only the .rc support specs active. At a later date, this can be reviewed. The driver could inspect the .res file to see if it's a object file or, but, it's somewhat questionable if handling .res is even useful. gcc/ChangeLog: PR driver/123504 * config/i386/cygming.h (EXTRA_DEFAULT_COMPILERS): Comment out .res spec to allow COFF files with .res extension to pass through to the linker. * config/aarch64/cygming.h (EXTRA_DEFAULT_COMPILERS): Likewise.
