[swift-dev] Build Error: Relocation R_X86_64_PC32

[Dmitri Gribenko]

IIRC there is no issue in the bug tracker, please feel free to file one!

Also, if you are familiar with binutils internals, it might be helpful
to bisect the linker.

Meador Inge has also mentioned this bug:
https://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=26580

Right now, it does not seem clear to me that we have an understanding
what the issue is, which component is broken (LLVM, Swift's IRGen, or
binutils), and if the breakage was accidental or intentional (e.g., to
fix something else).
