Hi Hamish, > I've been trying to cross-compile NSS for the NAS box
There are probably more enjoyable hobbies. :-) > A particular file tries to link against pthread_atfork, but fails. > I've checked that the linker is finding the correct libpthread.so, and > that the symbol is present (can be seen in "readelf -Ws > libpthread.so"), but it still fails. pthread_atfork(3) has a long history of being special, and different arrangements of how it works over time between platforms confuses things more. I suspect you're falling foul of the linker only plucking interesting symbols it knows it needs so far from each object or archive as it process them all once in the order they are stated. This is why two archives that have a circular reference need to have one of them duplicated, e.g. ‘-lfoo -lbar -lfoo’. http://ryanarn.blogspot.com/2011/07/curious-case-of-pthreadatfork-on.html explains more. If you don't grasp the initial bit of first reading, don't worry. He moves on to the explanation and solution. If that's not it then knowing the command that's run and the output surrounding the error would help. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2019-10-01 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
