Thank you for your response, Eric. You raise a fair point regarding IA-64 as an output target. To clarify our intent: we are not advocating for IA-64 as a relevant platform. Our concern is that the bug is reachable on modern x86_64 hosts through the multi-target support compiled into standard distribution builds, and that a malformed external object file can reliably crash the linker in those environments. Regardless of how the project chooses to classify this — whether as a security defect or a stability issue — we believe the underlying enforcement gap that Alan described in comment #2 is worth addressing, as it affects users who may not be aware that IA-64 backend code is active in their builds. We appreciate the project's time and are happy to provide any additional information that would help move toward a fix. Best regards, Takao Sato -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
