Hello,

I am using UML as part of a hermetic build system and I have encountered an
odd file corruption problem with the GNU Gold linker. When linking a binary
inside a UML VM with Gold, if the output path is on a hostfs mount then all
bytes in the output file produced by Gold are zero. However, the size of
the output file is correct and the debugging output from running gold with
--debug suggests that everything is working, so it seems like the content
is being produced by Gold correctly but the file ends up containing all
zeros instead. It has happened 100% of the time so far and it seems to be
independent of the linker command line or input files.

Are there any known issues where hostfs file content could end up as all
zeros?

Repros on both 2.6.34.13 and 3.7.1. I am using GNU binutils 2.21.1.

Much thanks for any help,

Tristan
