Bug ID: 15718
Summary: Cross-compiler called through toolchain-wrapper
generates bogus error messages
Product: buildroot
Version: 2023.02
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: trivial
Priority: P5
Component: Other
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---

Cause:
Invoking the cross-compiler from the package generated by 'make sdk' with no arguments

Expected behavior:
Should print arm-linux-cc: fatal error: No input files

Observed behavior:
Output is:
/path/to/buildroot/output/host/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/11.3.0/../../../../arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/bin/ld:
/path/to/buildroot/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot/usr/lib/Scrt1.o:
in function `_start':
(.text+0x40): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

With BR2_DEBUG_WRAPPER set to 2, I get the following extra information:

Toolchain wrapper was called with:
'buildroot-ts/buildroot/output/host/bin/arm-linux-cc'
Toolchain wrapper executing:

    '/path/to/buildroot/output/host/bin/arm-linux-cc.br_real'
    '--sysroot'
    '/path/to/buildroot/output/host/arm-buildroot-linux-gnueabihf/sysroot'
    '-fstack-protector-strong'
    '-fPIE'
    '-pie'
    '-Wl,-z,now'
    '-Wl,-z,relro'

When invoking arm-linux-cc with an example program to compile, behavior is normal. It seems like the 'Wl' options are what trigger the errors from the underlying gcc. Adding this as a 'trivial' bug so that it could either be documented or calling toolchain-wrapper with no arguments is special-cased so other buildroot newbies aren't tripped up by this.
