  Ah, sorry; I meant specifically for the PE object format variants.  Subject
line adjusted.

  The reason is that all these targets use the same BFD backend vector for
relocatable and non-relocatable links, and this causes some confusion in the
generated output files.  Fully explained at:

    http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2009-02/msg00174.html

  So, when I link a .o file using -r with sh-unknown-pe ld, I see all these
warnings:

/gnu/binutils/obj776-sh-unknown-pe/ld $ /gnu/binutils/obj776-sh-unknown-pe/ld/.
./gas/as-new    -o tmpdir/dump0.o /gnu/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-pe/longsecn.s
/gnu/binutils/obj776-sh-unknown-pe/ld $ ./ld-new
-L/gnu/binutils/src/ld/testsuite/ld-pe  -r -o tmpdir/dump tmpdir/dump0.o

  The test case .S file is attached.

  Should I be expecting the warnings?  Could it be related to

?

    cheers,
