ld: Bug Criteria

1 
1 6.1 Have You Found a Bug?
1 =========================
1 
1 If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some
1 guidelines:
1 
1    * If the linker gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is
1      a 'ld' bug.  Reliable linkers never crash.
1 
1    * If 'ld' produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
1 
1    * If 'ld' does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
1      may be a bug.  In the general case, the linker can not verify that
1      object files are correct.
1 
1    * If you are an experienced user of linkers, your suggestions for
1      improvement of 'ld' are welcome in any case.
