The concept is right, but I think we need a better approach to avoid problems like this cropping up again. What I'd like to see is BPABI_LINK_SPEC in bpabi.h split into EABI_LINK_SPEC (and containing TARGET_FIX_V4BX_SPEC & BE8_LINK_SPEC) and then all EABI-based targets using EABI_LINK_SPEC as part of their rule set. R.

The bpabi.h header already sets up defines to automatically use the --fix-v4bx flag with the assembler & linker as needed, and creates a default assembly & linker spec which uses those. Unfortunately, the linux-eabi.h header clobbers the LINK_SPEC define and doesn't include the v4bx define when setting up its own. So while the assembler spec is retained and works fine to generate the right relocs, building for armv4 targets doesn't invoke the linker correctly so all the relocs get processed as if we had an armv4t target. You can see this with -dumpspecs when configuring gcc for an armv4 target and using --with-arch=armv4: $ armv4l-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -dumpspecs |& grep -B 1 fix-v4bx *subtarget_extra_asm_spec: .... %{mcpu=arm8|mcpu=arm810|mcpu=strongarm*|march=armv4|mcpu=fa526|mcpu=fa626:--fix-v4bx} ... With this fix in place, we also get the link spec: $ armv4l-unknown-linux-gnueabi-gcc -dumpspecs |& grep -B 1 fix-v4bx *link: ... %{mcpu=arm8|mcpu=arm810|mcpu=strongarm*|march=armv4|mcpu=fa526|mcpu=fa626:--fix-v4bx} ... And all my hello world tests / glibc builds automatically turn the bx insn into the 'mov pc, lr' insn and all is right in the world.

At least, I've tested gcc-4.5.x and gcc-4.8.x and they both fail, and the code looks the same in gcc-4.[467].x. That means it's not technically a regression, so I guess policy dictates that it can't be merged into older branches? gcc/config/arm/linux-eabi.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-)
