Bug ID: 86984 Summary: invalid relocation accessing a const char arrray Product: gcc Version: 9.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: msebor at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- As discussed here https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2018-08/msg00839.html, the Alpha back end seems to emit invalid relocations for accesses to constant arrays in some cases, causing Glibc build failures. This must have been latent a bug that was triggered by the transformation of braced array initializers to STRING_CSTs in r263511 as the same issue can be reproduced by replacing the initializer with a string literal in the test case.
