This problem still exists on binutils 2.33 when -fvisibility=hidden is passed to cflags. I imagine this is so due to some conflicting code where the forced B.W is only generated for static functions, since non- static ones will be relocated differently, but then because of -fvisibility=hidden, they get treated like statics, only B is used instead of the forced B.W, causing this issue to crop up again.
OpenWRT experienced this when including WireGuard on a new board. I fixed it like this: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-linux- compat/commit/?id=178cdfffb99f2fd6fb4a5bfd2f9319461d93f53b -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/725126 Title: gas may assemble b to locally-defined, preemptible global symbol as "b.n" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/binutils/+bug/725126/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
