Subject: armv7-m musl 1.2.0 toolchain crash

After the update to musl 1.2.0 (1.1.24 was fine) ld crashes when
trying to link a C++ executable. C executables successfully link. The
toolchain was built as at commit
5086175f29021e3bebb7d9f5d83c4a796d96ebbd of musl-cross-make with the
following configuration:

TARGET = armv7m-linux-musleabihf
GCC_CONFIG += --with-cpu=cortex-m7  # easier than arch/fpu/tune
GCC_CONFIG += --enable-languages=c,c++
GCC_CONFIG += --disable-libquadmath --disable-decimal-float
GCC_CONFIG += --enable-default-pie
GCC_CONFIG += --enable-cxx-flags="-ffunction-sections"
MUSL_CONFIG += --enable-debug
COMMON_CONFIG += CFLAGS="-g0 -Os" CXXFLAGS="-g0 -Os"
COMMON_CONFIG += --disable-nls
COMMON_CONFIG += --with-debug-prefix-map=\$(CURDIR)=

Host compiler is arch linux gcc 9.3.0-1.

This results in a toolchain which does the following:
% cat test.c
int main() { return 0; }
% armv7m-linux-musleabi-gcc test.c
% armv7m-linux-musleabi-g++ test.c
collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation
fault], core dumped
compilation terminated.

The crash is a null pointer dereference in ld here (sym_hashes is 0):

Looks like a change in musl have exposed an ld bug.

Happy to provide more debugging if it helps.

Kind regards,

Patrick
