Have you found a bug?

   If you are not sure whether you have found a bug, here are some
guidelines:
   * If the linker gets a fatal signal, for any input whatever, that is
     a `ld' bug.  Reliable linkers never crash.
   * If `ld' produces an error message for valid input, that is a bug.
   * If `ld' does not produce an error message for invalid input, that
     may be a bug.  In the general case, the linker can not verify that
     object files are correct.
   * If you are an experienced user of linkers, your suggestions for
     improvement of `ld' are welcome in any case.
