Summary: [4.6 Regression] plugin linker is used unconditionally Product: gcc Version: 4.6.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: driver AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org ReportedBy: rgue...@gcc.gnu.org CC: hubi...@gcc.gnu.org We now seem to always pass -plugin ./liblto_plugin.so ... to collect2, even when not using LTO. This causes us to always use the linker configured for plugin use (--with-plugin-ld) via the collect-ld script and thus with --with-plugin-ld=gold gold will be always used (which breaks the build of libgo for me as gold is too old appearantly). int main() { return 0; } > strace -e execve -f ./xgcc -B. t.c -v -Wl,-debug 2>&1 | grep gold Configured with: /space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/configure --disable-bootstrap --disable-nls --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-lto --enable-gold --with-plugin-ld=/usr/bin/gold --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,fortran,java,lto,objc,obj-c++,go [pid 7648] execve("/usr/bin/gold", ["/usr/bin/gold", "-plugin", "./liblto_plugin.so", "-plugin-opt=./lto-wrapper", "-plugin-opt=-fresolution=/tmp/cc"..., "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc_"..., "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc_"..., "--eh-frame-hdr", "-m", "elf_x86_64", "-dynamic-linker", "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", "/usr/lib/../lib64/crt1.o", ...], [/* 91 vars */]) = 0 rguent...@murzim:/abuild/rguenther/trunk-g/gcc> strace -e execve -f ./xgcc -B. t.c -v -Wl,-debug 2>&1 | grep gold Configured with: /space/rguenther/src/svn/trunk/configure --disable-bootstrap --disable-nls --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-lto --enable-gold --with-plugin-ld=/usr/bin/gold --enable-languages=c,ada,c++,fortran,java,lto,objc,obj-c++,go [pid 7667] execve("/usr/bin/gold", ["/usr/bin/gold", "-plugin", "./liblto_plugin.so", "-plugin-opt=./lto-wrapper", "-plugin-opt=-fresolution=/tmp/cc"..., "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc_"..., "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc", "-plugin-opt=-pass-through=-lgcc_"..., "--eh-frame-hdr", "-m", "elf_x86_64", "-dynamic-linker", "/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2", "/usr/lib/../lib64/crt1.o", ...], [/* 91 vars */]) = 0
