Re: [Fwd: Problem with use of collect2]

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Cathy,

: This appeared to be a problem with the assembler.  Mr. Lu provided a
: new assembler which appeared to resolve the bfd error.  If we
: manually created *.s files and then created *.o files using the new
: assembler, no bfd error.

: We, however, noticed a problem with our application.  It appears
: that it is necessary for collect2 to run.  This causes a
: recompilation and when the dll is re-linked we again encounter the
: bfd error.  We are trying to find a way in which the bfd error is
: resolved (by using the new assembler) and then allowing 
: automatic use of collect2 to produce a dll without errors. 

It sounds as though the recompilation (via collect2) is using the old,
buggy assembler.  You should completely remove that assembler and make
sure that collect2 is using the new assembler.  If you are having
problems you might try passing the -debug flag to collect2 to find out
what it is doing.

Cheers
