[llvm-dev] Compilation issue "unsupported relocation on symbol" with clang 3.7.1 (original) (raw)

My best guess is that this is PR30279 https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30279 which was fixed in r280651 in September 2016. Can you try again with a version of clang/llvm from after that point? Some versions of aeabi_memcpy.S contain an unconditional branch to memcpy (a branch out of section that can't be resolved at assembly time). The v6m unconditional branch has a very short range and earlier versions of llvm did not support the relocation.

Hope this helps

Peter

Hi List, I'm trying to build llvm-5.0.0 with clang-3.7.1 on ARM (native building).

Relevant stuff: clang -cc1as: fatal error: error in backend: unsupported relocation on symbol Well, I don't know how to fix that. Any ideas ? Let me know if you need further info.
