            Bug ID: 24983
           Summary: RISC-V GP linker relaxation is not performed with
                    -nostdlib
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.30
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: ld
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: bmeng.cn at gmail dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

See the following test case
$ cat test.c
int a = 1;

int main()
{
    return a;
}

Building the test case with "-nostdlib" seems to disable the GP linker
relaxation:
$ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc test.c -o test -nostdlib
$ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-objdump -d test | grep gp
<return nothing>

But if we compile test.c without "-nostdlib":
$ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc test.c -o test
$ riscv64-unknown-linux-gnu-objdump -d test | grep gp

   1042a:       80f18a23                sb      a5,-2028(gp) # 12034 <_edata>

Note: this bug was previously filed in GCC bugzila, and it was suggested it
should be filed against binutils.
