Public bug reported: Unlike all other llvm-*-linker-tools packages, this one does not install `/usr/lib/llvm-18/lib/LLVMgold.so`. It does however install a broken symlink to it at `/usr/lib/bfd-plugins/LLVMgold-18.so` This results in compilation failures with clang++ when used with the `-flto` flag for link time optimization.
To reproduce: main.cpp: ```c++ int main() { return 0; } ``` ```bash clang++ -flto main.cpp -o main ``` Results in: ``` /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/llvm-18/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: error loading plugin: /usr/lib/llvm-18/bin/../lib/LLVMgold.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory clang++: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation) ``` Package version is llvm-18-linker-tools/noble,now 1:18.1.3-1 amd64 llvm-18-linker-tools: Installed: 1:18.1.3-1 Candidate: 1:18.1.3-1 Version table: *** 1:18.1.3-1 500 500 http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu noble/universe amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status ** Affects: llvm-toolchain-18 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2064187 Title: llvm-18-linker-tools does not include LLVMgold.so To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/llvm-toolchain-18/+bug/2064187/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
