[Bug 1696686] Re: ld: Relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 for relocation to PLT entry

[Chris J Arges]

Hello Diana, or anyone else affected,

Accepted binutils into xenial-proposed. The package will build now and
be available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.5 in
a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from
verification-needed-xenial to verification-done-xenial. If it does not
fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the
tag to verification-failed-xenial. In either case, details of your
testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance!

Title:
  ld: Relocation truncated to fit: R_ARM_THM_JUMP24 for relocation to
  PLT entry

Status in binutils:
  Fix Released
Status in binutils package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in binutils source package in Xenial:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  SRU acceptance criteria:
   - the package builds
   - the newly added tests pass, no regressions to previous builds
   - needs only testing on armhf, no other changes.

  Original bug report:

  When linking large applications, we sometimes see this error. This is
  affecting the LLVM ARM buildbots.

  The issue was fixed upstream:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20608

  Could you please backport it to Xenial?

  I have applied the patch on top of binutils_2.26.1.orig.tar.gz + binutils_2.26.1-1ubuntu1~16.04.3.diff.gz as found here:
  https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial-updates/binutils-arm-linux-gnueabihf

  It applies cleanly (except the ChangeLog) and passes make check.
