Subject: [Buildroot] RFC: deprecate BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2012 01:38:36 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <505A577C.1080700@mind.be> (raw)

  I've been playing around a bit with the options of the buildroot toolchain,
and disabled BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC.  Turns out that this makes it impossible
to build shared C++ libraries, because they have to be linked with a shared
libstdc++.so... Also, it looks like libgcc_s.so is still built, but it isn't
copied to the target directory.  So there's a risk that something links against
it and fails to run.

  So I propose to remove the BR2_GCC_SHARED_LIBGCC option, and instead make it
equal to !BR2_PREFER_STATIC.  That will probably still cause problems in some
corner cases, but we reduce the room for error.

  Regards,
  Arnout
