6.1: 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.
