Re: ld relocation error for AArm64

Thanks for making the report.  However we don't know anything about ld
here. :-)

  ld --help
  ...
  Report bugs to <http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/>

However the web page https://www.gnu.org/software/binutils/ says:

  address@hidden
  For reporting bugs.

Therefore mailing to address@hidden would get your report to the
binutils ld maintainers.

Good luck!
Bob
