Hello, i'm using mklibs at work here and I have a problem with it. One of the binaries that I use (lilo-mtd) requires the symbol "atexit" and mklibs doesn't manage to include it in the libc6 generated from the -pic version. $ objdump -T tmp/empty/tree/sbin/lilo-mtd | grep atexit 08048edc DF *UND* 0000003e atexit This symbol is provided by the standard libc6 : $ objdump -T /lib/libc.so.6 | grep atexit 0010cc54 l d __libc_atexit 00000000 00028e30 g DF .text 00000034 (GLIBC_2.0) atexit 00028c74 g DF .text 00000045 GLIBC_2.1.3 __cxa_atexit But mklibs doesn't manage to create the reduced library of libc6 with the PIC version... it gets into an endless loop, and it repeats this message : Still need: atexit 417 symbols, 1 unresolved [ and follows a new try to create a reduced version ] The atexit function does exist in the PIC version, it's called old_atexit.os : $ ar t /usr/lib/libc_pic.a | grep atexit cxa_atexit.os old_atexit.os So, do you have any idea why it doesn't get included ? And it's not even mklibs fault because atexit is correctly requested but gcc/ld doesn't include it in the generated libc : $ gcc -nostdlib -nostartfiles -shared -Wl,-soname=libc.so.6 -uatexit /usr/lib/libc_pic.a -o libc.so $ objdump -T libc.so libc.so: file format elf32-i386 objdump: libc.so: Invalid operation $ readelf -s -W libc.so $ (if you try the same with another symbol than atexit, it works) Cheers, -- Rapha�l Hertzog - EIPM SA -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
