== This week ==

* TCWG-619 (4/10) - Chromium builds with LTO single-partition with gold by changing arm_is_long_call_p() to always return true, thereby disabling short calls.

- Fails to build with ld.bfd for single partiition with the following error: obj/third_party/webrtc/base/rtc_base.ipaddress.o: In function `rtc::IPAddress::IPAddress(unsigned int)': ipaddress.cc:(.text._ZN3rtc9IPAddressC2Ej[_ZN3rtc9IPAddressC5Ej]+0x28): undefined reference to `vtable for rtc::IPAddress'

- gas debug for "Thumb2 branch out of range" in config/tc-arm.c: Fails in md_apply_fix at following condition: if ((value & ~0x3fffff) && ((value & ~0x3fffff) != ~0x3fffff)) { if (!(ARM_CPU_HAS_FEATURE (cpu_variant, arm_arch_t2))) as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line, BAD_RANGE); else if ((value & ~0x1ffffff) && ((value & ~0x1ffffff) != ~0x1ffffff)) as_bad_where (fixP->fx_file, fixP->fx_line, _("Thumb2 branch out of range")); }

The condition became true for value == fffffda
