From 378ed3ccd2a0404d031e771b65aa3af221ea8aea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andy Lutomirski Date: Thu, 3 Apr 2014 10:53:43 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] x86, vdso: Make the vdso linker script compatible with Gold Gold can't parse the script due to: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16804 With a workaround in place for that issue, Gold 2.23 crashes due to: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15355 This works around the former bug and avoids the second by removing the unnecessary vvar and hpet sections and segments. The vdso and hpet symbols are still there, and nothing needed the sections or segments.
