            Bug ID: 32980
           Summary: ThinLTO, relocation refers to discard section
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Hardware: PC
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs
          Assignee: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
          Reporter: dcallahan at fb.com

A ThinLTO build of a quite large application is generating a warning from the
linker
   ./boost/exception/detail/exception_ptr.hpp:143: warning: relocation refers
to discarded section
and the binary faults during static construction by trying access location 0.
   => 0x0000000006f31fd1
<_GLOBAL__sub_I__ZN5boost6detail16thread_data_baseD2Ev()+33>:     cmpb  
$0x0,-0x6f31fd8(%rip)        # 0x0

I have verified this problem exists in the current trunk as well.

I would love to work on reducing the problem but am uncertain how to get going.
How do I determine which section is being discarded and why?
Assuming this is a duplicate COMDAT, is the relocation supposed to be fixed? If
so where?

There are a lot of these warnings. The most unusual aspect of the build is the
presence of “—whole-archive” link commands although I don’t how that would
present a problem to ThinLTO.
