Problem was that the 64 bit ld selected the 32 bit emulation mode
(correctly), but the 32 bit arch scan is using the 64 bit default
list of architectures, and ldfile_set_output_arch with plain "powerpc"
will match the 64 bit default arch. That explanation may sound
complicated, but the fix is easy; Just set the 32 bit default to
"powerpc:common".
However, even after fixing this particular problem we still end
up choosing the 64 bit arch, because we later call
bfd_default_set_arch_mach with mach == 0, the value for
"powerpc:common". The problem here is that mach == 0 also means
"select the default machine", which is the 64 bit one. Again, the fix
is easy; Just don't use 0 in any of the bfd_mach_* constants.
Is should be possible to change the bfd_mach_* defines without
breaking anything as they are not written out to object files. Users
of libbfd wouldn't use hard-coded constants would they? Arrgh!
Unfortunately that does happen, even inside bfd. A quick grep showed
a number of places, and I need permission to correct one in gdb before
committing the complete patch. (If that is delayed, I'll just change
the powerpc bfd_mach_* for the time being.) Note that there may well
be other hard-coded machine values lurking, so this patch has
potential to break things. I reckon they need breaking. :)
bfd/ChangeLog
* archures.c (enum bfd_architecture): Change bfd_mach_* defines so
that zero is never used.
* bfd-in2.h: Regenerate.
* cpu-avr.c (compatible): Don't use hard-coded mach constants.
* cpu-powerpc.c (powerpc_compatible): Likewise.
* cpu-rs6000.c (rs6000_compatible): Likewise.
opcodes/ChangeLog
* mips-dis.c (_print_insn_mips): Don't use hard-coded mach constants.
gdb/ChangeLog
* x86-64-tdep.c (_initialize_x86_64_tdep): Don't use hard-coded
mach constants.
ld/ChangeLog
* emulparams/elf32ppc.sh (ARCH): Set to "powerpc:common".
