RE: binutils-2.15: sh-elf-ld segfault

["Dave Murphy" <wintermute2k4 at ntlworld dot com>]

I'm experiencing the same thing with an arm-elf target. The problem seems to
be related to having a statement of the form "__text_start = DEFINED (
<label> ) ? <value if true> : <value if false>;" in the link script and only
appears when generating a mapfile. In your case I'd guess the linkscript has
a line to set a default _HeapSize if one has not been defined already.

The most recent source from cvs no longer segfaults

arm-elf-gcc  -Wl,-Map,mapfile -nostartfiles -nostdlib -Tarmelf.x -mthumb -mt
humb-interwork -o test.elf main.c
c:\devkitARM_r4\bin\..\lib\gcc-lib\arm-elf\3.3.3\..\..\..\..\arm-elf\bin\ld.
exe: internal error h:/gcc/binutils/src/ld/ldlang.c 1974
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [test.elf] Error 1

which is the following code from ldlang.c :-

  /* We've already created this one on the presence of DEFINED in the
     script, so it can't be NULL unless something is borked elsewhere in
     the code.  */
  if (defentry == NULL)
    FAIL ();

Is the attached a suitable testcase? The makefile has a couple of values
which need adjusted for the gcc install and the included linkscript is for
arm-elf so it's not really generic.
