shared library creation using -Bsymbolic

shared library creation using -Bsymbolic

[Umut Aymakoglu]

Hi -
   I have gcc3(3.0.4) installed on my machine with the ld(2.11.90.0.8). The
following compile fails. Has anybody seen a similar thing?

thanks,
Umut

a.c:

a()
{
call_func();
}

void call_func()
{
b();
}

%gcc3 -fPIC -c a.c
%gcc3 -shared -o a.sl a.o   ---> works
%gcc3 -Wl,-Bsymbolic -shared -o a.sl a.o   ----> fails
a.o: In function 'call_func':
a.c:8 undefined reference to 'b'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This works with binutils-2.14, but fails with binutils-2.13.  I see the
same behaviour with both IA-32 and IPF.  So this is apparently a known
bug that has already been fixed.
