From da293110f429e1206728c1551cf0f6b462b3d8c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Le Bihan Date: Thu, 29 Dec 2016 19:36:24 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Make linker use dummy file when testing libs For some architectures, like Xtensa or HPPA, ld from binutils requires the output file to be a regular file, as mentioned in a bug report on the mailing list [1]. So, use a dummy file as output file for ld in trylibs(), instead of /dev/null.
