ient': Invalid operation dh_strip: objcopy returned exit code 1
Is this a known problem with binutils-gold?
yes, I did see this as well recently.
Could it be that it is new with 2.20-3 or 2.20-4? I think I didn't saw that in
earlier version. I think I saw it the first time when compiling batctl - which
I compiled right after update of my Sources file. This was after the 11.
November.
I wanted to write a bug report right now but haven't a glue why it fails.
objcopy --only-keep-debug debian/batctl/usr/sbin/batctl debian/batctl-dbg/usr/lib/debug//usr/sbin/batctl
seems to work without any problems. The real problem is
objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink debian/batctl-dbg/usr/lib/debug//usr/sbin/batctl debian/batctl/usr/sbin/batctl
So a small test would be:
$ echo 'int main() { return 0; }'> test.c&& \
gcc -g3 test.c -o test&& \
objcopy --only-keep-debug test test.dbg&& \
objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink=./test.dbg test&& echo "cool it works"
objcopy:stCdJOm4: cannot create debug link section `./test.dbg': Invalid operation
This works with the old linker, but not with binutils-gold
So I build the cvs version of the linker and objcopy and it is the same here.
So it is propably an upstream bug.
