Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.1-0pre0
Severity: normal
Hello,
I remarked a problem with gcc on Sparc which concerns the linking order
of libraries. I have done a simple test to show that:
First foo.c:
<--->
void foo()
{
}
<--->
Second file, main.c:
<--->
int main()
{
foo();
return 0;
}
<--->
Then the commands:
gcc -c -o foo.o foo.c
ar -rcu libutil.a foo.o
ranlib libutil.a
gcc -c -o main.o main.c
Until there everything works on all architectures.
But when linking, I get the following on Sparc:
gcc -o main main.o -L. -lutil
main.o(.text+0x4): In function `main':
: undefined reference to `foo'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
It seems that the library /usr/lib/libutil.a is used instead of the
libutil.a in the current directory. AFAIK, the problem appears only on
Sparc (among Debian supported architectures), and moreover only with
gcc-3.2 and gcc-3.3 (it works well with gcc-2.95).
