           Summary: unresolvable R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 relocation against
                    symbol `memcpy@@GLIBC_2.4' while linking Chromium
                    browser
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
        AssignedTo: address@hidden
        ReportedBy: address@hidden


Some time ago I saw a bug reported in Ubuntu that Chromium browser does not
build on armel architecture. I took a look at it, tried few versions and got to
point where I lack ideas what can be wrong.

https://bugs.launchpad.net/binutils-linaro/+bug/641126 is original bug with few
duplicates providing extra information.

Linking fails:

chromium-browser 14.0.807.0~svn20110630r91077:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real:
out/Release/obj.target/webkit/support/../../glue/webkit/plugins/ppapi/ppb_opengles_impl.o(.text._ZN6webkit5ppapi
12_GLOBAL__N_115VertexAttrib4fvEijPKf+0x44): unresolvable R_ARM_THM_JUMP24
relocation against symbol `memcpy@@GLIBC_2.4'
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [out/Release/chrome] Error 1

chromium-browser 12.0.742.91~r87961:
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real:
out/Release/obj.target/third_party/cacheinvalidation/../../cacheinvalidation_proto_cpp/gen/protoc_out/google/cacheinvalidation/internal.pb.o(.text._ZN12invalidation21ClientToServerMessage27MergePartialFromCodedStreamEPN6google8protobuf2io16CodedInputStreamE+0x7d2):
unresolvable R_ARM_THM_CALL relocation against symbol `operator new(unsigned
int)@@GLIBCXX_3.4'
/usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [out/Release/chrome] Error 1

I got both R_ARM_THM_CALL and R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 using binutils 2.21.5x
snapshots. Linking of 14.x version took ~9h and 3GB of memory (920MB physical,
rest was swap on slow usb hdd). 12.x one took much less time - 7h for whole
build (do not remember linking time)
