            Bug ID: 17826
           Summary: ld dies with "corrupted double-linked list" when
                    trying to link objects both -pie and -static
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.26 (HEAD)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: blueness at gentoo dot org

When trying to link ELF objects both -pie and -static on x86 arch, ld dies with
the following:

# gcc -static -pie -o conftest conftest.c
*** Error in
`/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.3/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld':
corrupted double-linked list: 0x0874fe30 ***

There are two issues here:

1) First, as far as I know, -static and -pie are not supported, and so ld
should warn with an appropriate error message.  I believe gold does this.

2) Second, the corrupted double-linked list issue should be corrected.  The bug
was introduced in commit 9f7c3e5e99a620b68f6b2d0f3b17329e40b8d781 which looks
like some code was added to free a hash table.  Previous to that commit, ld die
with the following

/usr/local/bin/ld: BFD (GNU Binutils) 2.23.51.20130211 assertion fail
elflink.c:13080
