I originally wrote about a dl-runtime.c compilation error, and provided a workaround in the form of replacing the strong_alias() macro call with the presumed equivalent asm() statement in dl-machine.h.
I have since discovered that this bug is covered by debian/patches/alpha/cvs-gcc4-profile.diff, which didn't get applied during my build because the "quilt" package hadn't been installed, and the missing package didn't stop the build from proceeding. Perhaps a newbie mistake on my part. However, as a result there was an opportunity to inspect/review the original patch, and it does not appear to implement the originally intended functionality. I'll leave it to those who know what they're doing to decide, because I admit to being in over my head :-). -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Tracy WTO + WIPO = DMCA? http://www.anti-dmca.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
