            Bug ID: 22268
           Summary: ld.gold accepts "foo = ~0xFF" in linker script while
                    ld.bfd - not.
           Product: binutils
           Version: 2.30 (HEAD)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gold
          Assignee: ccoutant at gmail dot com

  Target Milestone: ---

I am using latest ld.gold built from sources:
GNU gold (GNU Binutils 2.29.51.20171006) 1.14

It accepts both two next scripts:
SECTIONS { . = 0x10000; foo = ~0xFF; }
SECTIONS { . = 0x10000; foo = ~ 0xFF; }

Though lb.bfd does not like first version, it reports:
"test.script:3: undefined symbol `~0xFF' referenced in expression"

It is not clear what is intentional behavior, as it not documented I think.
I opened bug for ld.bfd here:
