+Subject: [PATCH] Force text segment alignment to 0x08000000 for i386 with gold
+ linker
+
+Upstream-Status: Backport
+
+When build libhugetlbfs tests with gold linker for i386, the below error occurs:
+
+i586-oe-linux-gcc  -m32 -march=i586 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu

+| collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
+
+But, it works well with GNU linker. --hugetlbfs-align flag passes
+"-zcommon-page-size=$SLICE_SIZE -zmax-page-size=$SLICE_SIZE", that are supported by gold linker too.
+But, it looks gold linker deal with them in a different way from gnu linker for i586.
+
+The readelf shows the below result with GNU linker:
+
+Elf file type is EXEC (Executable file)
+Entry point 0x8048fbd
+There are 8 program headers, starting at offset 52

+"--relax" linker option doesn't solve this problem.
+Forced textsegment alignment to 0x08000000 with gold linker, the build will pass and

+
+The fix just have impact on hugelink_rw test case, which needs --hugetlbfs-align flag.
