cmd/ld: -s produces broken binary

[josharian]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. go get github.com/josharian/gostripbug
2. cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/josharian/gostripbug
3. make

What is the expected output?

Hello

What do you see instead?

runtime: function symbol table header: 0x0x0 0x0x0
fatal error: invalid function symbol table


runtime stack:

Which compiler are you using (5g, 6g, 8g, gccgo)?

6g, 6l. Also reproduces with 5g, 5l. Haven't tried others.

Which operating system are you using?

OS X, arm/linux.

Which version are you using?  (run 'go version')

go version devel +75118231847b Thu Sep 12 00:15:28 2013 +0200 darwin/amd64

Please provide any additional information below.

Does not reproduce with Go 1.1.

I'd love to know for future reference -- if I wanted to write a test case for this in
the Go source tree (so I could reference a CL that others could build on instead of
making a separate GitHub repo), where would it belong?

Comment 1:

i think the symbol table is necessary for Go 1.2 program to run, so -s might not
be able to strip the symbol table anymore. in that case, perhaps it's better to remove
the function (-s).

Labels changed: added priority-soon, removed priority-triage.

Status changed to Accepted.
