RE: [COMMITTED PATCH] Use __ehdr_start, if available, as fallback for AT_PHDR.


Sorry for the delay.  (I still have a mountain of backlog.)

Such an error is by definition a bug in binutils.  If it occurs in
released versions of binutils, then we would consider trying to work
around it somehow.  But the thing to do first is to find a reduced
test case that demonstrates the linker bug and take it up with the
binutils maintainers.  (I would guess that any simple static link
making use of __ehdr_start with a weak reference would hit the same
problem, but you'll have to see what you get.)  Once it's resolved
for trunk binutils, we'll know much more about the details and be in
a better position to consider the situation for any older binutils
versions that are affected.


Thanks,
Roland
