"While testing binutils-2.32 in Ch 6.16 of LFS-BOOK-20190624-systemd, I
receive this error in the gold testsuite:
gcctestdir/collect-ld: internal error in set_section_addresses, at
../../gold/output.cc:4441
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[5]: *** [Makefile:9430: incremental_copy_test] Error 1
This was reported upstream as a binutils + gcc-9.x bug:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24123
The error prevents the full testsuite from running. The following
workaround (after extracting binutils) disables the test and prevents
the error on my system:
sed -i.orig -e '/@\tincremental_copy_test$(EXEEXT) \\/d' \
-e '/@\tincremental_copy_test \\/d' \
gold/testsuite/Makefile.in"
He also attached a much fuller patch as an alternative, to remove all
traces of incremental_copy_test.
I've now confirmed that on my (somewhat older) gcc-9.1 builds the problem
is indeed present. Usually I just look for 'FAIL' in the output, so it is
easy to miss this.
I have not confirmed the fix at this point (still exploring older systems
using gcc-8.3.0), but best to flag this up so it doesn't get overlooked.
