Bug ID: 96389 Summary: Compiling MinGW-w64 GCC with LTO results in error: symbol wrong type (4 vs 3) Product: gcc Version: unknown Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: lto Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: brechtsanders at users dot sourceforge.net CC: marxin at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 48959 --> https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=48959&action=edit Build output I would like to compile my MinGW-w64 build of GCC for Windows (targetting win32 and win64) with the (static) standard libraries containing LTO information. I added these flag to the configure command: CXXFLAGS_FOR_TARGET="-flto -ffat-lto-objects" but then I get errors like this when it tries to build libstdc++-v3: symbol wrong type (4 vs 3) After looking on the internet I also tried with this as possible workaround: LDFLAGS="-fno-use-linker-plugin" but I got the same errors. I have attached the complete compiler output. Are there still known issues with LTO on Windows? Is it supported to have LTO information in libraries like libgcc_s.a and libstdc++.a? If so, what is the correct way to build them?
