The presenting symptom is: --18142-- WARNING: Serious error when reading debug info --18142-- When reading debug info from /export/home/paulf/tools/gcc/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.25: --18142-- Can't make sense of .rodata section mapping The cause appears to be hundreds of Elf32_Shdr (also Elf64_Shdr) with names .rodata and/or .rodata.<subr_name>.

Inspection shows that the .rodata* are adjacent after considering alignment. Therefore a workaround might be for the debuginfo reader to aggregate them all into a single internal .rodata section. A simple proposed patch will be attached. The Status of this bug 353802 should be re-opened (not Resolved Fixed). I will try, but might not have enough privilege to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
