Hi Bhavimani,

Yes - since it has obviously been fixed in the 2.36 release.

Not off the top of my head no.  But you can always locate the patch needed
yourself.
I am going to upload the script I use to perform binary searches on the
binutils repository.  With this you should be able to locate the patch that
fixed the problem.

> Otherwise, this needs to be fixed in v2.35.

Sorry, but 2.35 is so old now that we are not going to make any more changes to
it.  You can always contact whomever supplies you with your toolchain and ask
them to update it.


> Upgrading to the v10.3 toolchain is not within our project scope.

In which case you may not be able to resolve this problem, even if you can find
the patch that fixes the linker.  Instead you may need to change your source
code to use some other mechanism to achieve the goal that you desire.

Cheers
  Nick
