The testsuite of binutils isn´t workig and displays 9 error messages.

I found a patch to fix 3 of them.

The 6 remainig errors are depending on our secrurity flags with "-fPIC" and to disable all static libraries.

Maybe we can disable these tests in testsuite.

I added a file with the remaining errors they´re all within the ld-tests

Because of the fact, that we do not need non-PIC binaries at all, we could disable these tests.

I found something interesting in the default config file for those tests:

# The "make check" target in the Makefile passes in
# "CC=$(CC_FOR_TARGET)". But, if the user invokes runtest directly
# (as when testing an installed linker), these flags may not be set.
if {![info exists CC]} {
    set CC [find_gcc]
}
if {![info exists CFLAGS]} {
    set CFLAGS "-g -O2 -"
}
if {![info exists CXX]} {
    set CXX [find_g++]
}
if {![info exists CXXFLAGS]} {
    set CXXFLAGS ""
}

May we can change the default flags to work with our patched / hardened gcc version.

I add a patchfile to disable 3 static tests from ld-elf.

Comment #1815:
This has no relevance to our issue.

Comment #1816:
Does this fix all of the errors?

No, only the 3 static tests from ld-elf.

In this test a static library / binary should be build and executed.

Reopen, because testsuite still doesn´t work

I´ve found the following on the HLFS Page:

Maybe that will do the trick, but I didn´t understand the istructions and comments at all.
