Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Target|x86_64-apple-darwin10 |*-apple-darwin{9,10} Host|x86_64-apple-darwin10 |*-apple-darwin{9,10} Build|x86_64-apple-darwin10 |*-apple-darwin{9,10} --- Comment #5 from Iain Sandoe <iains at gcc dot gnu.org> 2011-03-12 11:31:37 UTC --- to clarify/as a reminder; - this limitation (n_sect 8 bits) is the reason that GNU_LTO sections are kept separate and emitted at the end of the object file on Darwin. - there are no symbols in these sections, so they will not be referred to in the symtab - therefore, we should never overflow the section reference. we need to investigate if something is broken in those assumptions - or whether 'as' is just telling us something we already knew.
