[Qemu-devel] problem building qemu-0.10.6 under SUSE-11.1 (was OK under SUSE-10.3)

[Sergei Steshenko]

Hello All,

I've been routinely building QEMU up to (inclusive) version 0.10.6 on my
SUSE-10.3 box - in the framework of my own AppsFromScratch.

Over the weekend I've upgraded to SUSE-11.1 and now the build fails with
these messages:

"
  LINK  sparc64-bsd-user/qemu-sparc64
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS): In function `__libc_csu_init':

`__init_array_end'

against undefined hidden symbol `__init_array_end' can not be used when making

make: *** [subdir-sparc64-bsd-user] Error 2
".

If I understand correctly, the problem is somewhere between _system_ linker
and _system_ glibc - I think so because of all these:

/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/glibc-2.9/csu/elf-init.c
/usr/bin/ld

- they are all system stuff _not_ touched/changed by my AppsFromScratch - 
the latter is _not_ run under 'root' privileges and changes nothing in
system areas.

Is my understanding correct ? If yes, how can the problem be fixed ?

Output of 'uname -a':

Linux amdam2 2.6.27.7-9-pae #1 SMP 2008-12-04 18:10:04 +0100 i686 athlon i386 
GNU/Linux
.

Thanks,
  Sergei.

P.S. Have just noticed the 'pae' in the kernel name - 10.3 -> 11.1 upgrade
caused it, I have only 2GB of RAM, so PAE is unnecessary. Probably has
nothing to do with the problem.
