broken output file and generating makefile



binutils-2.22/gold has an extra test failure when built with gcc 4.7.2.  This

is the offending command:



gcc -Bgcctestdir/ -Wl,--no-ctors-in-init-array -Wl,-O1,--as-needed -o

broken_by_gcc_472 a.o



With 4.7.1, the test passes.  I have put this in the 'other' category as no

compilation seems to be taking place.



In the attachment, you'll find output files generated with 4.7.2 and 4.7.1 to

compare, hopefully the second is obviously broken.  Also there is a Makefile to

run the offending command, and preprocessed source for the object file being

used.



Thank you, hope this is enough to find/fix the error.
