-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The binutils on 10.0 has a bug, it doesn't work well when using gcc 3.3.x or 3.4.x When using the latest binutils (2.16.1, compiled from source) it works, but when using the binutils package shipped with SL 10.0 (2.16.91.0.2-8), I get the following when building shared libs: `.L631' referenced in section `.rodata' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os: defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._Z17otl_var_type_namei' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os `.L612' referenced in section `.rodata' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os: defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._Z17otl_var_type_namei' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os `.L613' referenced in section `.rodata' of build/linux26-gcc344-ora920-d/carma/otl_result_set.os: defined in discarded section `.gnu.linkonce.t._Z17otl_var_type_namei' of etc.. etc... I've been googling on that, and it definately seems to be a binutils bug. The gcc src.rpm shipped with SL 10.0 includes some patches, one of which might be a workaround for that binutils issue, but I cannot apply it to 3.4.x (and I definately need 3.4.x in this case). Now, with that background and while you're already replying "this is off-topic" ;)), I wanted to ask if anyone was already providing newer binutils packages in his repository ? I'll file a bug for this anyway but I'll most probably try to isolate a backport patch for this very issue. cheers - -- -o) Pascal Bleser http://linux01.gwdg.de/~pbleser/ /\\ <pascal.bleser@skynet.be> <guru@unixtech.be> _\_v FOSDEM 2006 -- 25+26 February 2006 in Brussels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDiyKOr3NMWliFcXcRAjrPAKCzmpvT//awy7PUSgD3KVTcBLX8IwCfa+hB 2ba2ZiPUN+ZCgTcX3y/KbOc= =3S2G -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
