        <pre>The original issue is "Copy relocation against protected symbol doesn't work".
I agree with Rich Felker (<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00168.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00168.html</a>) and
Cary Coutant (<a href="https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00407.html">https://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2016-03/msg00407.html</a>
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00158.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00158.html</a>
<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00169.html">https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2016-04/msg00169.html</a>) that we should
keep using direct access against protected symbols and disallow copy
relocations against protected symbols.

I appreciate that Cary Coutant and Rafael Ávila de Espíndola added diagnostics
to gold and lld, respectively:

gold (<a href="https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19823">https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19823</a>)
lld (<a class="bz_bug_link 
          bz_status_RESOLVED  bz_closed"
   title="RESOLVED FIXED - LLD failed to link symbols with "protected" visibility"
   href="show_bug.cgi?id=31476">https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31476</a>)

And I hope the following resolutions could be reworked:


GCC 5 x86-64 (<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65248">https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=65248</a>)
i386 was flagged as a reproduce
(<a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55012">https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55012</a>)

__attribute__((visibility("protected"))) int a;
int foo() { return a; } // GCC>=5 uses R_X86_64_GOTPCREL/R_X86_64_REX_GOTPCRELX
instead of R_X86_64_PC32
binutils 2.26: R_X86_64_PC32 can no longer be used against a protected symbol
