Michael Banck reported on IRC that the libgcc_s.so of the gcc 3.4 debian packages fail with the following error: /lib/libgcc_s.so: undefined reference to `_pthread_mutex_lock'
objdump -T /lib/libgcc_s.so | grep pthread gives the following: 23:19 < azeem> 00000000 D *UND* 00000000 _pthread_mutex_lock 23:19 < azeem> 00000000 w D *UND* 00000000 pthread_create 23:19 < azeem> 00000000 w D *UND* 00000000 pthread_once 23:19 < azeem> 00000000 w D *UND* 00000000 pthread_mutex_unlock The problem here is that gcc declares all the pthread functions weak with a #pragma weak. When calling pthread_mutex_lock() however, the inline function from /include/bits/mutex.h (libpthread/sysdeps/generic/bits/mutex.h in the Hurd sources) is used. This inline function calls _pthread_mutex_lock, which of course isn't declared weak by gcc. I think we should just remove those inline functions, because it's dubious whether they are a really faster and they do break things. What do you think?
