Hi there,
I've found the problem of ELF runpath handling.
My environment is cross target sh-unknown-linux-gnu (host is
i686-linux-gnu). Linker aborts in objalloc_free_block, because
the memory allocated with different BFD is released.
The process is:
libc.so (RPATH=/lib) + libpthreads.so (RPATH=/lib, RUNPATH=/lib)
===> librt.so
When handling libpthreads.so's RUNPATH, it releases the memory
allocated for libc.so's RPATH.
Here's the patch to point out the issue. It's not the solution,
obviously. Perhaps, it should be allocated by bfd_malloc?
