--- Comment #5 from Kugan <kuganv at linaro dot org> --- There is a rgression with this patch in qemu aarch64-none-linux-gnu for pr38151.c. pr38151.c:(.text+0x10c): relocation truncated to fit: R_AARCH64_LDST64_ABS_LO12_NC against `.rodata' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status asm diff is as shown below. < add x0, x0, :lo12:.LANCHOR0 < ldr x0, [x0] --- > ldr x0, [x0,#:lo12:.LANCHOR0] If I however increase the alignment of .rodata where .LANCHOR0 is defined, this passes. Is alignment of BITS_PER_UNIT valid for SYMBOL_REF? If I change it as I am doing this attached patch, is there anything else I need to do. Any tips?
