Description

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

elfhack gives me the following error:

Did you build beta11 or mozilla-central ? If the former, this could be either bug 629638 or 629639, in which case it's fixed on mozilla-central.

Comment 2

[Jeff Muizelaar [:jrmuizel]]

I was using the git repository of mozilla-central as of hg commit 7698f12bbe7d

Comment 3

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

please attach test.so (you will have to build it by hand, as the failure will remove it)

Comment 4

[Mike Hommey [:glandium]]

please also give the command lines used to build test.so and test.o

Strictly speaking, this is not entirely true. There are versions of gold that work fine with elfhack.

I can reproduce with your test.so. And the good news is that patches from bug 629635 fix it.
