             Bug #: 13695
           Summary: glibc doesn't build properly with
                    -frecord-gcc-switches in CFLAGS
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.11
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
        AssignedTo: drepper.fsp@gmail.com
        ReportedBy: asharif.tools@gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Reproduction:

1. Build a toolchain with CFLAGS="-frecord-gcc-switches".
2. Try building an executable with gold as the linker. It will fail.

See: http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2011-11/msg00238.html

The reason is the following:

"""The glibc/csu/Makefile runs this code through a sed script that
deletes everything between HEADER_ENDS and _init_PROLOG_BEGINS, which
loses the ".text" directive, and the code for call_gmon_start ends up
placed in the .GCC.command.line section."""
