--- Comment #6 from Jim Wilson <wilson at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
By the way, the underlying problem here is, as Andrew Waterman mentioned, that
the RISC-V linker does aggressive link time relaxations to reduce code size,
and this makes lib128 with label subtraction unsafe. The RISC-V port is not
the only port that has this problem. The RISC-V port is just the only one that
gets it right. The others can silently produce incorrect debug info. I have
evidence that every binutils target except RISC-V that does aggressive link
time relaxation to reduce code size is doing it wrong. There is a bug in
binutils bugzilla where I listed linker relaxation code size related issues,
but I have since found and fixed other problems in the RISC-V port, so it is
incomplete.
