Bogus "final link failed" messages
This patch is a result of noticing messages like the following: tmpdir/tls32.o: in function `_start': (.text+0x1c): unresolvable R_PPC_REL24 relocation against symbol `__tls_get_addr_opt' ./ld-new: final link failed: symbol needs debug section which does not exist The "needs debug section" comes from attempting to use debug info to find source line information to print the first error message. That error isn't of interest to the user, and any previous bfd_error value which might be of interest is overwritten. So save and restore bfd_error around the fancy error reporting code. That still doesn't leave us with a clean bfd_error. Now we get ./ld-new: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output An unresolvable relocation surely doesn't mean there is some bfd section that ld doesn't know how to output! Digging into that showed a _bfd_elf_section_from_bfd_section failure attempting to find an elf section correcsponding to ".interp". So don't go looking for elf sections on linker created bfd sections. And then fix the linker testsuite which expected the bogus message.. bfd/ * elflink.c (elf_fixup_link_order): Don't attempt to find an elf_section for linker created bfd sections. ld/ * ldmisc.c (vfinfo): Save and restore bfd_error around bfd function calls that might set it. * testsuite/ld-elf/indirect.exp: Don't expect "nonrepresentable section" message.
