             Bug #: 54819
           Summary: Microblaze: When enabling position independent code
                    the linker does not recognize the object file
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.7.2
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: other
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: qball@sarine.nl


I hope this is the right place to report it, I'm sorry if it is not:

When compiling C code for the microblaze and you enable position independent
code (-fpic) the tool flow does not recognize the object file.

Example C code:
void main()
{
}

mb-gcc main.c  -v -fpic
Using built-in specs.

I can trace this back to GCC 4.6.2.   4.1.2 (from xilinx) works.

The compiler is compiled using the following script:

Please let me know if I need to provide more information.
