Author: dim Date: Mon Dec 31 14:21:41 2012 New Revision: 244905 URL: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/244905 Log: MFC r244600: Fix a bug in ld --gc-sections: it strips out .note sections, while it should never do so. This can cause global constructors and destructors to not be executed at run-time, resulting in crashes and other strange behaviour.
