            Bug ID: 20694
           Summary: PDP11 TARGET_PAGE_SIZE is incorrect
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: casner at acm dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The file ld/emulparams/pdp11.sh includes the line:

TARGET_PAGE_SIZE=256

The actual page size of the memory management hardware on the PDP11/45,
PDP11/70, etc. is 8192 bytes.  A consequence of this error is that the data
section in a.out format output is not offset to a page boundary.

I have verified that the UNIX V6 ld program running on a simulated PDP11 does
offset the data section to the next page boundary (20000 octal) when the -n
option is included.
