From 9f88b906b4455465d60ac18b8c95904f320038d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jan Beulich Date: Thu, 3 Jul 2014 15:34:38 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86-64, vdso: Fix vDSO build breakage due to empty .rela.dyn Certain ld versions (observed with 2.20.0) put an empty .rela.dyn section into shared object files, breaking the assumption on the number of sections to be copied to the final output. Simply discard any empty SHT_REL and SHT_RELA sections to address this.
