[avr-libc-dev] [bug #21559] BOOTLOADER_SECTION macro does not function properly when used in more than one file

[Eric Weddington]

Update of bug #21559 (project avr-libc):

                  Status:                    None => Invalid                
             Assigned to:                    None => arcanum                
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

The problem is not with avr-libc. The issue is with GNU ld (the linker) in
Binutils. For some unknown reason, this changed between 2.16.1 and 2.17.

The workaround is to use a custom linker script. Copy the default linker
script (.x file for your architecture) and add the following to the SECTIONS
block:

.bootloader  : { KEEP(*(.bootloader*)) }

Which means for all files (the first star) add all sections that start the
".bootloader" and any characters after that, KEEP the sections in the final
output, and place them in the output section ".bootloader"
