Our ar (and ranlib, which is the same binary) will produce a corrupt symbol table if the .a archive output is larger than 4GB, because we support only 32-bit offsets in the older "/" symbol table format, not the "/SYM64/" format and 64-bit offsets. As with GNU ar from binutils 2.17.50 we silently truncate if the offset does not fit in 32 bits. I'll have a patch for review soon to exit on error rather than produce corrupted output, and hope to look at adding /SYM64/ support later on. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
