Ok. That looks like a bug in the older binutils (objcopy) you are using. It is confused by the empty .rela.dyn section right next to the .dynamic section. Current binutils don't seem to have a problem with this. I haven't tried to get an old binutils running to reproduce this. I suspect the following change will work around the problem. It should not cause any problem with newer or older binutils. Thanks, Roland --- [PATCH] powerpc vdso64 linker script tweak This should work around bugs in older binutils' objcopy. The placement of these sections does not really matter, but it confused the buggy old BFD libraries.
