+
+This failure happens while writing out PLT entries, there is a check
+"BFD_ASSERT (h->dynindx != -1)" to confirm all plt entries have dynamic
+symbol attributes.  This was failing for symbols that were
+"forced_local" in previous linking code.
+
+The fix adds logic to or1k_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol to identify
+"forced_local" symbols and exclude them from the the PLT.

+
+	PR 27624
+	* elf32-or1k.c (or1k_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Change
+	condition used to cleanup plt entries to cleanup forced local

+This failure happens while writing out PLT entries, there is a check
+"BFD_ASSERT (h->dynindx != -1)" to confirm all plt entries have dynamic
+symbol attributes.  This was failing for symbols that were
+"forced_local" in previous linking code.
+
+The fix adds logic to or1k_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol to identify
+"forced_local" symbols and exclude them from the the PLT.
+
+bfd/ChangeLog:
+
+	PR 27624
+	* elf32-or1k.c (or1k_elf_adjust_dynamic_symbol): Change
+	condition used to cleanup plt entries to cleanup forced local
+	entries.
