Package: binutils-x86-64-linux-gnux32
Version: 2.43.90.20250127-1
Severity: minor
File: /usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnux32-ld.bfd

Dear Maintainer,

I'd recently been hit with the following error
$ make
...
/bin/ld: error: could not close arguments file
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

This told me approximately exactly nothing.

Running under strace got me

And indeed

/bin/ld: error: could not close arguments file
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
repros this.

Would be nice if the error showed the error instead of obfuscating it
for no apparent reason. Had I not known how to pick this out
out of strace I would've been SOL.

Best,
