From b5dd7120f6bcbd1fe650b8839a53b2bd423fbf60 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Maciej W. Rozycki" Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2020 20:11:29 +0100 Subject: PR ld/26288: Revert obsolete part of PR ld/26047 fix Revert commit a3fc941881e4 ("Stop the linker from accepting executable ELF files as inputs to other links."), which has been made obsolete by commit a87e1817a435 ("Have the linker fail if any attempt to link in an executable is made."). An earlier check triggers added with the latter commit making the piece of code removed dead. ld/ PR ld/26288 Revert: PR 26047 * ldelf.c (ldelf_after_open): Fail if attempting to link one executable into another. --- ld/ChangeLog | 9 +++++++++ ld/ldelf.c | 7 ------- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/ld/ChangeLog b/ld/ChangeLog index cb49784ea97..3bf9e619eef 100644 --- a/ld/ChangeLog +++ b/ld/ChangeLog @@ -1,3 +1,12 @@ +2020-07-23 Maciej W.
