Subject: PR/33909 CVS commit: src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 17:42:17 +0000 (UTC)

 Module Name:	src
 Committed By:	drochner
 Date:		Mon Jul 10 17:42:17 UTC 2006
 
 Modified Files:
 	src/gnu/dist/binutils/ld: ldlang.c
 
 Log Message:
 Call ldemul_finish() before lang_check_section_addresses(), as done
 in binutils-current, rev.1.224.
 ldemul_finish() might change section addresses/lengths, so this change
 makes sure it is really the final output which is checked.
 
 This fixes problems loading LKMs on alpha and amd64, reported by
 Dave Huang per PR bin/33909. I could reproduce it myself on alpha.
