Package: binutils-mipsel-linux-gnu Version: 2.29.1-12 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I have been attempting to build L4Re with the mipsel cross-toolchain, which has so far worked well, but after updating the L4Re sources to a newer revision, I now get the following error: ---- mipsel-linux-gnu-ld: main.o: Can't find matching LO16 reloc against `.text' for R_MIPS_GOT16 at 0x1f8 in section `mipsel-linux-gnu-ld: BFD (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.29.1 internal error, aborting at ../../bfd/bfd.c:866 in _bfd_doprnt mipsel-linux-gnu-ld: Please report this bug. ---- So, I am reporting this bug! However, I suspect that it might have something to do with other, previously-reported bugs. Superficially, it looks like bug #834147 in Debian. I don't really know how to debug this, but I did see advice about using readelf, so I used the following command: mipsel-linux-gnu-readelf -r \ mybuild/pkg/examples/sys/utcb-ipc/OBJ-mips_32r2-l4f/main.o And this yielded the following output: Relocation section '.rel.text' at offset 0x52b8 contains 26 entries: Offset Info Type Sym.Value Sym.

(Followed by more details and .rel.debug sections.) I cannot really see any obvious changes in the way the software gets built, but I'm also not an expert with the software in question, either. I will try and investigate further, though. Sorry if this isn't as informative as it could be. Please let me know if I can provide better information. Paul P.S.
