When building Fiasco.OC for ARM with binutils 2.36.1 (as provided by Ubuntu 21.04), a link error occurs:

  ==> Linking fiasco.debug
arm-linux-gnueabihf-ld: cannot use executable file 'bootstrap.fiasco.o' as input to a link

The error is related to this binutils change: https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=26047

Hi,

thanks for reporting this. We will look into this issue. Does this happen for all supported ARM platforms or is this limited to a specific one?

Thanks,
Matthias

I have tried RealView PBX, i.MX8M and the default selection (ARM Integrator Platform), so at least those are affected.

Thanks for the report. This is a known problem and we are working on it.

Hi,
this actually is a more complicated problem than we originally anticipated. The kernel build system uses a feature that has been deprecated in binutils 2.35. Seems that Ubuntu couldn't wait and removed that feature in 2.36.
So I have to ask you for a little bit more patience while we change the way the kernel is linked.

Hi,

Commit c8f2e0d should fix the issue. If you can confirm this, I would close this issue.
Thanks again for reporting!
