--- Comment #4 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> 2013-02-15 01:33:37 UTC --- (In reply to comment #3) > As a note, the "See your linker documentation" phrase also occurs in the > function-attributes documentation > (http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html). Yes and remember not all linkers are the GNU linker so if the linker documentation does not document what GCC references you should file a bug with them rather than with GCC :).
