------- Additional Comments From ratmice+bugzilla at gmail dot com 2009-09-16 06:27 ------- I would like to comment that I appreciate the lack of this feature, I once had a typo in a makefile variable which was reported to me by a user of either an old gnu-ld or a proprietary linker which didn't support this feature, i am not sure, but it bothered me at the time that I was unable to find a way to disable this feature of gnu-ld so I could test it myself, if you do end up adding it please consider an option to disable it.

Maybe the error reporting could be expanded, to do this lookup when the linker finds unresolved symbols, then report the indirect shared libraries providing the symbols? looking at failures at http://people.debian.org/~lucas/logs/2009/07/13-binutils-gold/list_failures.txt it looks like this is likely to be the cause of a large percentage of the failures. -- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10238 ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. _______________________________________________ bug-binutils mailing list bug-binutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-binutils
