Re: Bug in GNU ld at elf_i386_copy_indirect_symbol with gcc-3.3

[Martin Aumueller]

Hi,

I'm sorry I can't manage to reproduce it on Redhat 9.

A collegue of mine (the only one using RH9 right now) patched the
libFL.a distributed by SGI with OpenInventor to the version included
in the last tar file: he renamed all references to __c_type* to
address@hidden because the libc of R9 no longer includes the
unversioned symbol. Somehow, this patched libFL.a with an unpatched
libXm.a caused this problem. When trying to reproduce it on RH9, I
did also this renaming trick for the libXm.a from RH8, and then the
application linked. With this patched libXm.a the application also
linked on RH8. With the unpatched SGI libFL.a and the unpatched
RH8 libXM.a, the application does link correctly. If I mix the
unpatched libFL.a with the patched libXm.a, the same problem
occurs.

If it is still of interest, I put all the libraries and object
files into another tar file: 
http://www.hlrs.de/people/aumueller/bug-ld-elf32-i386-complete.tar.gz
There you will find patched and unpatched versions of both libXm.a
and libFL.a for reproducing the problem with RH8.

Thank you for your help and sorry for the confusion,
Martin
