Bug ID: 104707 Summary: gcc on riscv64 isn't passing entire library path to the linker Product: gcc Version: 11.2.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: target Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: sterprim at outlook dot com Target Milestone: --- I tried to build mold linker (v1.1) for Arch Linux RISC-V, but gcc (11.2.0, riscv64) filters out essential library paths (/lib and /usr/lib) and mold does not have the notion of "default search paths" by design. Therefore, mold would complain something like "mold: library not found: gcc_s" if extra "-Wl,-L/lib,-L/usr/lib" is not added. Similarly lld fails to work with gcc, complaining "library not found". But I found that bfd works well with gcc. Output from gcc when compiling c source files: $ echo 'int main() { return 0; }' > b.c $ mold -run gcc -o exe b.c --verbose ......

Log above shows that "/lib/:/usr/lib/" in LIBRARY_PATH seem to be filtered out by default, but bfd has its own workaround for this issue. This situation doesn't happen on x86-64 machines.
