Hi All, We are using this gcc-4.8.5-28.el7_5.1.x86_64 version and while compiling code we are getting this below Error. **** /i686-pc-linux-gnu/linuxtoolchain-centos7/u8/usr/bin/ld: /ws/ucxn-re-bgl01/env_12_5_rvxn12/lib/libilbc.a(fast_mem_ops.o): relocation R_386_GOTOFF against protected data `__kmp_external__memcpy_mem_ops_method' can not be used when making a shared object i686-pc-linux-gnu/linuxtoolchain-centos7/u8/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status **** We have searched about this “relocation against protected symbol doesn’t work” error and we found http://www.sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2015-04/msg00203.html this link but we are not able to apply this patch on this gcc-4.5 version. Please suggest some solution or work around to resolve his compilation error. Regards, Vyshnav
