<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>i'm trying to dig issue with building systemd-boot EFI images with llvm/clang and linking with llvm/lld. In general building and linking process works and i get my final objects. Unfortunately these EFI images does not boot system. I noticed that .efi image is missing PE/COFF relocations.</div><div>When i changed linker to ld.bfd, voila everything is fine and final efi image does boot system and have needed relocs. I tried all the ld.lld options related to relocations, but still no success.</div><div>Thanks for your help.</div><div><br></div><div>Below you can find diff between two objdumps.</div><div><pre style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:SFMono-Regular,Consolas,"Liberation Mono",Menlo,monospace;font-size:11.9px;margin-top:0px;padding:16px;overflow:auto;line-height:1.45;border-radius:6px;color:rgb(36,41,46);margin-bottom:0px"><code style="box-sizing:border-box;font-family:SFMono-Regular,Consolas,"Liberation Mono",Menlo,monospace;font-size:11.9px;padding:0px;margin:0px;background:initial;border-radius:6px;word-break:normal;border:0px;display:inline;overflow:visible;line-height:inherit">[root@tpg-latitude5490 /]# cat bootx.linkers.diff
