Strange read for simple_object_elf_find_sections for .a file

[Martin Liška]

Hi.

I noticed a strange error during parsing of .gnu.lto_.lto section
in LTO plugin:

$ cat bss.c
int global_zero;
int global_one = 1;

int main() { return 0; }

$ gcc -flto bss.c -c
$ gcc bss.o
read version 9.0

while:

$ ar r x.a bss.o
ar: creating x.a

$ gcc x.a
read version 13617.13368

$ objdump -s -j .gnu.lto_.lto.655b2ec59df60b19 x.a
In archive x.a:

bss.o:     file format elf64-x86-64

Contents of section .gnu.lto_.lto.655b2ec59df60b19:
  0000 09000000 01000100                    ........

which is the same as objdump of bss.o

Any idea why that happens?
Thanks,
Martin
