I am working on a theory that the real bug is that _bfd_write_archive_contents() is not creating the symbol index. As you noted the call to bfd_check_format() fails, because there are two potential matches. But I do not think that this is grounds for the archiver to decide that there are no objects in the library. Even with this patch applied, most of the linker tests that are failing continue to do so, but I have not yet investigated why. I just wanted to show you my ida, and see if you thought that it might be worth persuing. Cheers Nick -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
