[arm-gnu] about -Wl,--gc-sections and static link

[Tomoyoshi ASANO <asa@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

I have some problems of static link with --Wl,--gc-sections.
I found a simple example.

# cat test.c

main()
{
  printf("HELLO.");
}

# arm-none-linux-gnueabi -o test1 -static test.c
# arm-none-linux-gnueabi -o test2 -static -Wl,--gc-sections test.c

On ARMv5te target board,

# ./test1
HELLO.#
# ./test2
#

test2 does not output string.

It seems the same problem.

Is this ld or glibc problem?
