--- Comment #23 from Kaylee <klkblake at gmail dot com> --- I got a failure in the ld testsuite in x86-64.exp. Unfortunately, about an hour later, my computer crashed, and I have since been unable to reproduce it. I think the text was something like "RELATIVE RELOCATION FAULT"?. It's possible that it was just some transient failure in my system that also lead to the crash. Using --remove-section-header on one of my test cases, objcopy issues a warning "Could not find any mergeable note sections". Probably it shouldn't warn about that unless --merge-notes was explicitly specified. Using objcopy (even without any flags) results in a shared object that segfaults at runtime. Looking at readelf output, it seems like objcopy is modifying the PT_LOAD entries. In particular, it seems to be moving the program header to the start of the file, and then modifying the PT_LOAD entry that covers the program header to cover it's new location, without taking into account that this makes two segments overlap, which is illegal. Though even if it modified it correctly, as a shared object its loaded segments may contain arbitrary cross-references from e.g. PC-relative relocations which were resolved at link time, and so can't be safely modified at all. strip has the same issues. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
