severity 540751 normal tag 540751 + wontfix thanks the proposed solution is to avoid the two global wildcard matches.
upstream comment: The linker script shown has two global wildcard matches. As the ld info doc says, this is slightly crazy. They both match "test_new", so which one should ld choose? The most specific match? How do you do that in general? eg. is "tes*" a better match than "*new" for "test_new"? (If we make a special case for "*", why stop there?) From section 3.9, ld info manual: When the linker finds a symbol defined in a library which is not specifically bound to a version node, it will effectively bind it to an unspecified base version of the library. You can bind all otherwise unspecified symbols to a given version node by using `global: *;' somewhere in the version script. Note that it's slightly crazy to use wildcards in a global spec except on the last version node. Global wildcards elsewhere run the risk of accidentally adding symbols to the set exported for an old version. That's wrong since older versions ought to have a fixed set of symbols. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
