https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465801 Summary: link failure with g77 32-bit compilation Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.1 Version: RC 2 Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.1 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Development AssignedTo: pth@novell.com ReportedBy: Joseph.Comfort@asu.edu QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686 (x86_64); en-US; rv:1.8.1.19) Gecko/20081213 SUSE/2.0.0.19-0.1 Firefox/2.0.0.19 It was good to see the gcc 3.3 package restored in openSuSE 11.1. But there is a bug. In linking a 32-bit application on a x86_64 computer, I got the following message: /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/libfrtbegin.a when searching for -lfrtbegin /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lfrtbegin collect2: ld returned 1 exit status The library is located in /usr/lib64/gcc-lib/x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/libfrtbegin.a In the old compat-g77 rpm, there was a 32-bit and 64-bit version in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64, respectively. That worked. The compatibility should be restored. I notice also that the directory /usr/lib64/gcc-lib//x86_64-suse-linux/3.3.3-hammer/32 is empty. In the older compat-g77 rpm, there is some stuff. I also had to add some links back to the libgcc_s.so libraries. Is there a reason that v3.3.3 is being used? The old compat-g77 package was based on v3.3.5. I could never understand why openSuSE dropped the compat-g77 package, and still keep the gcc 2.95 compatibility. At least there has been enough pressure to bring it back in some form.
