binutils 2.11: another ARM relocation problem in linker (2)

[Eberhard Mattes]

This is probably the same bug as the previous one reported under this
subject; the input files of this report are simpler (not involving
those horrible import libraries) and the output is more broken.  This
case might be simpler to debug than the previous one.

Binutils version: 2.11
Configuration:    --target=arm-epoc-pe (PE/COFF)

For the appended set of input files, ld writes a relocation which
should not be there.  The files are built with this shell script:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/sh

rm -f main.o main.dll tmp.bas tmp.exp tmp.lib tmp.pex main.dll

arm-epoc-pe-as -o main.o main.s
arm-epoc-pe-as -o foo.o foo.s
arm-epoc-pe-as -o bar.o bar.s
arm-epoc-pe-ld -v --dll -e entry --base-file tmp.bas -o tmp.pex main.o foo.o 
bar.o
arm-epoc-pe-dlltool --output-lib tmp.lib --input-def main.def \
        --dllname main --base-file tmp.bas --output-exp tmp.exp
arm-epoc-pe-ld -v --dll -e entry -o main.dll tmp.exp main.o foo.o bar.o
arm-epoc-pe-objdump -pd main.dll
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are the relevant lines from the output of objdump:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disassembly of section .text:

10001004 <bar>:
10001004:       e1a00000        nop                     (mov r0,r0)

10001018 <etext>:
10001018:       10001000        andne   r1, r0, r0
        ...
------------------------------------------------------------------------

reloc 1 should not be there, the symbol `bar' is not referenced from
the code, it's only exported.

Here are the input files:

main.s:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        .text
        .global entry
entry:
        .section .rdata
        .word   foo
------------------------------------------------------------------------

main.def:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPORTS
        bar     @ 1 NONAME
------------------------------------------------------------------------

foo.s:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        .text
        .globl  foo
foo:    nop
------------------------------------------------------------------------

bar.s:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
        .text
        .globl  bar
bar:    nop
------------------------------------------------------------------------
